Well mostly in song writing my experience is that there isn’t so much inspiration as hard work. You sit there for hours, days and weeks with a guitar and piano until something good comes Picture Quote #1

Here I am, a not over-good business man, a second-rate engineer. I can make poor mechanical drawings. I play the piano after a fashion. In fact, I am one of those proverbial Jack-of-all-trades who are usually failures. Why I am not, I can’t tell you Picture Quote #1

With the a cappella groups, every voice is like one string on a guitar, one note on the piano, or one cymbal, and you don’t have the luxury of falling back on anything Picture Quote #1

The piano has disappeared from working-class family life, which is a shame. It’s associated with the middle classes now.

I always feel like I want to write a song when I’m really upset. And when I’m in an argument with my family, I go straight to the piano and just kind of take it out on the piano and get all emotional Picture Quote #1

Family is everything, although I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with some of the most amazing minds over the years, including Renzo Piano, John Young, Graham Stirk and Ivan Harbour Picture Quote #1

Genetically, I have tons of musical background in my life. My mother’s father was a famous Weimar-era composer, Ernst Toch. My father’s mother was the head of the Vienna Conservatory’s piano department. It all canceled out in my case. I’m completely hopeless in music Picture Quote #1

I took classical piano for a couple of years, but I sort of lost interest - I couldn’t read a note today if I tried. I still enjoy that stuff, and I think I naturally gravitate towards the classical licks; in fact, I know that I do. I gravitate towards the classical licks that I heard by famous old composers Picture Quote #1

I remember learning how to play ‘The Fool On The Hill’ on piano when I was in maybe fifth grade Picture Quote #1

After I learned the piano, I went on to learn percussion, the tuba, b-flat baritone, French horn, trombone, trumpet, most of the instruments in the orchestra. Trumpet was my instrument Picture Quote #1
