I like interacting with other people. That is one of the cool things about playing live with a band or in a studio. Exchanging musical ideas on the fly between the other musicians is huge fun.

You look over at the bass player and without saying anything he takes the music in another direction. You understand what he is saying on the bass, you smile and go with him. Cool stuff.

Things can also get out of hand sometimes....lol My lead guitar player use to blow through the changes and zoom off to some place only he understood...lol My job was to bring him back to earth...lol

We had great respect for one another and listened to each other intently. Eyes on who ever is in the lead at a given moment in the song.

For me, music is a team sport.

Cheers,
