"As soon as I left the womb, my passion for music was just as soon as I became conscious in my memory. My father was a pianist and professor, the Beatles were influential, and my brother brought home a copy of The Kingsmen's 'Louie Louie.' That record was like a totem of magic that came into our house and replaced everything."
"Getting a transistor radio for my birthday in the mid '60s was an education in parsing pop and rock and roll songwriting. I was glued to it. Then I was gifted an acoustic guitar, which was a challenge because my impression of guitars was electric. But thanks to my brother, who was also into rock and roll, I eventually got my first electric guitar."
