“You don't ever get a chance to play what you really do; and if you do, you notice that you can't play, because you haven't been. And often I'd be asked to play like somebody else, like Joe Sample.

Then one time I ran into Joe and he told me, "Man, I'm tired of people asking me to play like you."”
