From the chapter in my book where I discuss learning to play:
Quote:I don’t think I’m unique amongst musicians when I say that my instrument is also my therapist, my friend, my lover, my shelter; and my compositions are my release, my headlines, my semaphores to a world that is now online. The notes which pour out of my speakers like hundred-watt syrup -- the chords which shimmer over my twelve-string acoustic -- the melodies which dance and groan and sparkle and scream from this odd animal made of wire and wood and bone and sinew and soul -- these sounds are a language, the language of my heart, as much as English is the language of my thoughts.
