I don’t get hung up on the lyric. I play lyrically
but I don’t need to check the lyrics to figure how
to play the song. I know the old shtick about how
you need to know the lyrics to play a ballad like
“Secret Love.” I think that’s a crock really. Don’t
get me wrong: some beautiful songs have great and
moving lyrics and some great songs really have bad
lyrics. I think they’re separate.
