Q: “Did you think you were going to do that, you know, keep playing all those years? Was there ever any choice or you were going to be a musician and that was it?”

A: “I knew I was going to this when I was eight years old. I was firmly convinced that I would make the guitar my livelihood and I was convinced that I would do it well, that I would play well and that I would be a success. I mean, I just knew that, you know, when I was eight, when I was that young.”
