“The piano is out of tune. Actually my whole life is out of tune, but the piano is worse. . .I love the piano, but not enough to care about it the way people do at a school like Melton. I want to use it to make music, not mind meld with it. There, it’s never enough to play an instrument. You have to live it, breathe it, taste it, compose for it, understand it inside and out. You even have to emphasize with it, like its another person. Honest.”
