Playing music for me is the thing that seems to all at once infuse an easiness in my heart,
gives strength into my limbs and new ideas into my brain.
Life seems to stand still while at the same time moving forward without effort,
when I am filled with the joy of playing music.
We musicians can be the luckiest people on earth !

David Lockhart's painfully excessive capturing of the booze-swilling and constantly concupiscent Jim Morrison is an encyclopedic homage to the ethos of rock. Boudeeka's haunting accurate portrayal of Janis Joplin is a tribute to women in rock and the raw emotion that was so much a part of the scene. Carlton Poward is an almost frightening replica with his spot-on Jimi Hendrix characterization and inspired guitar playing. Pat Craig Contra Costa Times
