I love recording and I love producing my music. I love so many aspects of the music business. But by far, I love being on stage. So, before showtime, I'm so excited to rip it up. 09:03 - I've been touring now for 34 years. The millions and millions of people that I've played in front of, you don't know whose life you may have saved out there. I know it sounds like over the top and dramatic, but it's facts. You don't know what people are going through in their life. 17:58 - I used to save my money to buy vinyl. You would go to the record shop, and you might buy a record just because the cover looked cool. You might get that and then something else you've been looking for. You'd go back, get in your spot, get your chair, and put that music on. You dig in, look at the album cover, and read the liner notes. When you drop that needle on something for the first time, something you maybe never heard, and you experience something the first time, it was game changing. I missed that, and I feel sorry for kids in the younger generation who don't have that experience.ContactFresh Coast Jazz FestivalJJ Sansavarino
