"I'm seeing and hearing lots of B to B instruments, and everybody isn't, you know, using them... a lot of these guys are trying to do it on conventional guitars, although that has its own sound, and maybe its okay."
"I certainly hear the Trombones Unlimited version of "Daydream" in a lot of elevators."
"I was wildly out of style when that television theme song suddenly pushed its way onto the Top Ten. It was certainly not the record company trying to make that happen."
"I think that my past stands me in good stead in that it does have a certain strength for musicians."
