    I love this! Though when he says 'always leaving them wanting more,' I immediately thought of Andy Warhol talking (I think) about some of the early Velvet Underground performances, and how his philosophy was to always leave people wanting less.

    Great. It sounds like he is talking to a drummer. Is the guy also a saxophonist?
