| Quote | - One night I got really adventurous on "Tuxedo Junction"
and I put in a little "ping!" you know, that wasn't written,
and this was such an experience! To make music that
wasn't indicated. That really got me into starting
to want to think about how to make the music.
- I have always admired your [Magee's] teaching as that rare
and amazing combination, the exceptional knowledge combined
with the ability to bring these skills within a student for life.
You were certainly my biggest inspiration in college, and the
seeds of the insights that you have shown, has in practice
worn many times fruit.
- Bill had this quiet fire that I loved on piano.
The way he approached it, the sound he got was like
crystal notes or sparkling water cascading down
from some clear waterfall. I had to change the way
the band sounded again for Bill's style by playing
different tunes, softer ones at first.
- We needed people that were interested in each other,
so that we could spend a year or two just growing,
without ambitions, just allowing the music to grow.
And allowing our talents to merge in a very natural way.
- It was one of those magic moments in your life when you
expect a horror story, and the doors of heaven open up.
I knew there and then he wasn't going to get away.
