I would listen to Little Richard and Fats Domino and Chuck Berry, and I would listen to how they played their riffs, and after I taught myself that, I taught myself to play my own kind of stuff.
My mother used to tell me about vibrations. I didn't really understand too much of what that meant when I was just a boy. To think that invisible feelings, invisible vibrations existed scared me to death.
The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Phil Spector. Those were my idols.
I'm just a shy and retreating kind of person. Sometimes I get in a real talkative mood - but not very often.
You want to know my real pleasure? Food. I love chocolate. I can't get enough chocolate. I can't help it. But my biggest pleasure of all is exercise. I really get off on exercise.
I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.
