Piano is very elegant. I also think it's a very truthful instrument.
The judgment of music, like the inspiration for it, must come slow and measured, if it comes with truth.
People think the blues is sad. They hear people moaning and such. That's not the blues. That's just somebody singing slow...The blues is about truth-telling.
The modern composer builds his works on the basis of truth.
I think the majority of musicians are interested in truth.
As a drummer, you can't fake the instrument. A trumpet, you could be blowing air; a person who plays the trumpet could still say, "Oh, those aren't the right hand motions." On drums, you have to actually hit them. You can't fake it.
I guess all songs is folk songs. I never heard no horse sing 'em.
