If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?
I don’t sleep more than four hours a night. For decades and decades. With that time I have always had a full time job and career, raised children and grandchildren, played in cover bands and ran sound, produced music and commercial videos, wrote and recorded three hundred songs, took thousands of band photos and helped people when I could.
I have always been amazed how other people sleep so much of their life.

How much would you pay to go to the moon?
Not nearly as much as I would pay to send some people there!
What major historical events do you remember?
I was born in the early 1950s. I literally don’t have time for that. I would be dead half way through the list!
What’s something most people don’t know about you?
Most people don’t know I’m an old man. Even people I have known for years treat me as much younger and are surprised when I tell them I’m my seventies.
And counting.
When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
No one. Society does not honor success properly. The most successful are those that resist the trappings of success.
Power corrupts.
Athlete’s and stars get paid billions……. For what?
You probably don’t know the names of the most successful people. To bad.
Who are your favorite artists?
I don’t really have a favorite visual artist, but Van Gogh is pretty cool.
Musical artists are easier: Peter Gabriel and Bjork top a long list.
What are your favorite types of foods?
Are usually the ones in front of me. I can eat just about anything healthy, from anywhere.
What motivates you?
Avoiding pain is a good one for me.
What foods would you like to make?
I would like to make foods based on needs of human populations. For example, zoos have special diets for animals in their care. What we need is something like ‘puppy chow’ for humans.
This would be a food to give away to those in need. Something that might be enough to keep hikers, astronauts and the poorest of us all healthy.
How do you express your gratitude?
Every day!
