When you go into the studio or get up on the stage with people who have more experience or knowledge, you learn.

Jazz is an art that takes decades to appreciate and understand.

Bill Gates recently picked up the ukulele. And Warren Buffett is a huge ukulele fan. I even got to strum a few chords with Francis Ford Coppola. It blows my mind that these people, who have everything in the world they could want, have picked up the ukulele and found a little bit of joy.
