Engineering is a great profession.
For my second record I had gotten ProTools and started to familiar myself with hard disc recording.
Simon Hale, the British arranger, does all string and wood arrangements on my records
I started playing music at a pretty young age
I actually am always a music first person
I make the kind of music I like
I did a song, "Court and Spark," for a Joni Mitchell tribute album that's yet to see the light of day. So she's someone I'd like to do something with, sure. I worked with the great guitar player Bill Frisell on Phantom Moon - that was fun. I'm such a fan; he's amazing.
What proves the hero truly great,Is never, never to despair.
The pure, the beautiful, the bright, That stirred our hearts in youth, The impulse to a wordless prayer, The dreams of love and truth, The longings after something lost, The spirit's yearning cry, The strivings after better hopes, These things can never die.
The present is the point of power.
I have found that the many imbalances within our individual lives result in an overall more worldly balance. What I mean is that no matter how unfair I think something is, I need only look at the bigger picture to see how, in a way, it fits. . . however impossible it is to understand it or see it at the time.
