   Brian Interviewed

   A very good interview with Brian (as good as it gets from Brian) appears   
   in Bass Player Magazine Oct. 2004 issue. He appears on the cover, inside   
   tells how his uncle taught him 3rds, 5ths, & 6ths on the piano, tells   
   how Carl taught him to play electric bass, tells how his dad showed him   
   some boogie on the piano, tells how he hears 6-part harmony in his head   
   and still has stage fright right up until the music starts playing.   
   (Which explains the haunted look on his face.) Also tells first hand how   
   he would instruct the musicians in the studio to "just play what's   
   written" (by him.) Like pulling teeth but the first time he has ever   
   described his recording techniques. He longer mixes in the studio but   
   leaves it to the sound engineer, (Brian's too afraid of it.) A good read   
   but very brief.
