I'm A Working Travelling Musician,

I Think When I Was Younger I Was Not Very Good At Writing Love Songs That Didn't Have A Twist.

I'm A Man With A Mission In Two Or Three Editions And I'm Giving You A Longing Look Everyday, Everyday, Everyday I Write The Book.

There Was Not A Lot Of Rock N Roll In The House. Our Parents Didnt Think It Was Very Groovy, And I Tend To Agree With Them. If You Grew Up With Charlie Parker, Bill Haley Wasnt Very Hip.

I'm Drawing From Two Generations Back How To Think About Music, How To Think About Why You Travel To Make Music, What The Possible Pitfalls Of That Are For The Way Your Life Is Structured. The Good And Bad Of All Of It Get Into The Mix Of What's Created, What You're Creating.

My Dad's Father Was A White Star Line Trumpet Player In The '20s. It Shaped The Way That I Think About Music. My Grandfather Was Classically Trained, Military Trained. He Was An Orphan Who Ended Up In The Military School Of Music In Kneller Hall.
