But don't play so much these days, just tinker with my acoustic guitar.

Of everything, learned the most from Cat Daddy. That was the greasiest, funkiest negro you've ever seen in your life, but he really taught me about groove, playing in the pocket and what "the one" was all about. He lived upstairs from me for about a year, always had a bunch of other greasy jerry curl negros over, everyone jamming. Some played with James Brown, some with George Clinton, two of them with Prince. It was nothing short of amazing to witness such awesomeness and learn from them.

If I could go back in time in my life, that's where I'd go.
