"The trouble with most musicians today is that they are copycats. Of
course you have to start out playing like someone else. You have a
model, or a teacher, and you learn all that he can show you. But then
you start playing for yourself. Show them that you're an individual. And
I can count those who are doing that today on the fingers of one hand."
