Mick's not good on his own problems, but he's very good at other people's. He's been wonderful over the years. I don't mean I ring him up every week, but he's fantastic. ↗

Usually I can hear the pianos, the saxophone, and usually I can hear Ronnie. But I really need to listen to Keith and Mick. The rest of the band is sort of an embellishment to that. ↗

When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them. ↗

You need better technique than I have to play jazz, but what you have to do is the same thing, isn't it? ↗
