What's really interesting is seeing him in person too, because while he's talking, he was there at a press conference afterwards and while he's talking, he moves his fingers in the air as if he were fingering his instrument.
When my son Owen was seven or so, he fell in love with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, particularly with Clarence Clemons, the band's burly sax player.
When I listen to his songs, I feel like even when he's going off on these tangents with guitar solos and you've got, you know, saxophone coming in and it's, it feels like it's kind of going off into outer space.
The characteristic sound of that particular person's voice or musical instrument, you say: " Ah-ha. I know what that is. That's a saxophone." or " That's a cello" , or whatever;you recognize the sound of the instrument.
Just like when he was a kid with the saxophone, listening to his dad's records, imitating the stuff that he was hearing, you know, he's now taking something and making it into his own thing.
You have stringed instruments like violins and cellos, and you have percussion instruments like the drums, and you have woodwind instruments, which are things like saxophones, I think, or is that brass?
So they behave, you know, the fingering is similar to a saxophone, but you know, you have a wide variety of sound because you control the synthesizer with it.
