The Silence Between The Notes

I Extract What I Consider The Best Material From Different Sources. But Often The Material I Perform Comes From A Very Strange Location In History, Which Are Minstrel Shows.

I've Got A Very Behind-the-scenes Personality. I Don't Know How I Became A Performer. I Like To Stay Discreet, Out Of The Public Eye, Very Low-key.

The Only Thing That Interests Me Is History - Reviewing The Past And Making Something Out Of It.

It Can Even Be A Single Note Which Defines The Entire Song.

I Think Of These Things As Obstacles Rather Than Opportunities, Because If They Were Opportunities It Means I Actually Took The Business Of Doing Them Seriously. To Take Myself Too Seriously Is The Gentle Kiss Of Death.
