“Being true to yourself - pursuing musical situations where you can best contribute. I enjoy playing so much more when playing with people - and in styles - that really inspire me. Regardless what ‘label’ you put on any genre, if it’s soulful and uplifting, I’m there!”

“Music has different vibrations for different things that can open our minds and give us insight in the struggles of people all over the world. Music helps us understand the mysteries of life as we search for answers to help us understand ourselves and our world. Music speaks a language everyone can understand, even when they don’t understand the words in a different language. Sometimes the most difficult things can be understood…

“Blues music has always been tied to social change. It’s a potent method to protest  about major societal issues such as inequality. As blues music continues to change over time – like when Delta Blues moved north during the Great Migration and influenced city styles like Chicago Blues – its purpose stayed the same: to express dissatisfaction and pursue personal and social change. Just…

“The blues is where most of this music started. If we let it fade, we’re cutting the roots out from under everything else. Music today has still got the same job, help people feel something, help them say something and help them deal with something.”

David Pippin & Eva…

"Classic Blues acknowledges the commonality of human experiences. It shows us that we exist in a reality where our souls respond in the same ways as other souls around us do when stimulated by the emotions in the music we experience together. I believe that in today’s fragmented societies which are under constant attack by forces committed to controlling them in their quest for power and money, music is a counter force that can fend off these attacks,…

"Blues is the foundation of all American music as we know it. Music should connect people to each other and can be a spiritual as well as entertaining experience. One can minister with music."

"Art, whether it’s music, visual, dance, film; any form is important in our lives. Early humans made art already; look at the wall paintings found in caves, or the flutes that were found. I don’t think we can survive without art. There are many people who think they can, a subject more and more heard in society now rightwing politics are becoming stronger and stronger. They think it is a hobby and there should be no more funding from society…

"I felt that The Blues from its infant years and birth was always about honestly expressing oneself. It would be great if we can get to that point. of honestly expressing ourselves. In our micro and macro relationships."

"I want my music to affect people in a positive way. Take them out of their suffering and impart joy in their lives. Make them reflect. Help them achieve what Buddhism terms, Human Revolution. Of course, this is a goal that I strive for. And every gig is new. Every audience an opportunity."

"The music in the past was soulful, it was made from the heart. Nowadays, the focus is on commercial music and economic profit. I fear that technology will replace the great artists of the past, people who only played an instrument for fun and achieved amazing things. I worry that there will never be a new Louis Armstrong or Meade Lux Lewis again."

Wax & Boogie: Let The Good Times…

"It can give a troubled heart words of solace, and if one is attentive, a way to give voice to one’s feelings.  It can become a journey of friendships, appreciation of great skill in one of the oldest arts, and if one is persistent, perhaps to be humble and kind.  No wants on this poet’s part—float your boat with poem down the stream, and be content with wherever it goes."

David Cope: Big Scream…

"The impact of music on the socio-political, racial, spiritual environment is that it makes people think, and feel, and consider a different way of looking at things and feeling about things. That can lead to action which can then make an actual positive change in whatever the situation is."
