“ If you think about it, $100,000 in terms of a recording is not a lot of money. For musicians who are cranking out a lot of this uninteresting commercial music, it is not unusual for that amount of money to be allocated for the lunch commemorating the signing of one of their recording contracts. ”

“ I am interested in recording an album because it would be an opportunity to express the feelings I have inside, not playing a character. I just think I have this thing inside me, this need to create and to express feelings whether that's in film, or in music which is an emotional expression as well. ”

“ And then I got a call from Barbra Streisand. Saying she had heard the album. Was interested in recording some of the songs. Thought I should do the arrangements.

“ People don't really know us for us, we're just five guys who came from ordinary lives, and we have been blessed with a talent to perform and bring happiness to other people's lives. We had to pay our dues and bust our balls, and will probably have to do it again since we took a break… ”

“ I hated performing. I love to sing but I don't love to sing in front of people. I don't have much of a feel for performing. When I think of performing, I think of being so nervous you want to throw up. That's what performing means to me. Singing in the recording studio when there's no one else around, that's a whole different thing. ”

“ One of the most important things is to learn to read music.

They have a chart in front of you and you can read it… ”

“ In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, and courage, so long are you young.

“ Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft.
