I Gave Up A Lot Of Things

I've Been An Amature Inventor For A Long Time.

As Far As Current Inspiration, I'm Listenting To A Lot Of Flamenco, Because The Techniques Used For Flamenco Can Be Adapted To Playing Bass.

I Gave Up A Lot Of Things In Exchange For My Success.

I Listened To Many Different Types Of Instruments And Music, And Have Always Tried To Look At The Bass As An Instrument As Opposed To Only A Bass.

It Was Also Important For Me To Have A Burning Desire To Achieve Something Worthwhile On That Instrument, And I Devoted Many Many Many Hours With Little Or No Compensation To Perfecting Whatever I Could, Because I Loved It So Much.
