जब आप पीछे मुड़कर देखते हैं, तो पाते हैं कि वाद्य संगीत (इंस्ट्रुमेंटल म्यूजिक) को वापस लाना कितना जरूरी था, और वाद्य रॉक संगीत की उस लहर का हिस्सा बनना वाकई शानदार अनुभव था। और यह बिल्कुल स्पष्ट है कि यह कुछ ऐसा था जो मेरे भाग्य में लिखा था।

You look back, and it was important to bring back instrumental music, and it was great to be a part of that wave of instrumental rock music. And clearly it was something I was destined to do.

मेरा बचपन ज्यादातर शैंपेन, इलिनोइस में बीता। मेरे पिता ईस्ट इलिनोइस यूनिवर्सिटी में थे, इसलिए मैं हमेशा संगीत के माहौल के बीच रहा। मेरे पिता के दोस्तों में से एक जॉन केज थे, जो एक अवांत-गार्डे (प्रयोगधर्मी) संगीतकार थे, इसलिए मैंने वहीं से उस अजीबोगरीब क्लासिकल और विविध संगीत को आत्मसात कर लिया।

I grew up mostly in Champaign, Illinois. My dad was at the University of East Illinois, so I was always around the music. One of my dad's buddies was the avant-garde composer John Cage, so I picked up on that weird classical and eclectic music.

जब आप किसी पल के बीच में होते हैं, तो आपको कभी पता नहीं चलता कि यही वह खास पल है। जब मैं सोलह साल का था, तो मैं वरमोंट के एक छोटे से शहर में चला गया, और उस समय मेरे पास बजाने के लिए कोई बैंड नहीं था। इसलिए मुझे मजबूरन टॉप-40 बैंड्स, फ्रेटरनिटी बैंड्स और शादियों में बजाने वाले बैंड्स के साथ काम करना पड़ा। वह सब पॉप संगीत था, लेकिन उस दौरान मैं 'वेदर रिपोर्ट' और शास्त्रीय संगीत सुन रहा था। फिर 1978 में मैं बर्कले कॉलेज ऑफ म्यूजिक गया, जहाँ विक्टर बेली और स्टीव वाई जैसे कलाकार थे। और अचानक मैं अपने जैसे लोगों के बीच पहुँच गया था।

You never know that this is the moment when you're in the moment. When I was sixteen I moved to a smaller town in Vermont, and at that time I didn't have a band to play in. So I was forced to play in Top 40 bands and fraternity bands and wedding bands. That was all pop music, but I was listening to Weather Report and classical music. Then I went to Berklee College of Music in 1978, and you had Victor Bailey there, and Steve Vai. And suddenly I was among my ilk.
