It's impossible for me to feel like there's only one way to do a thing. There's nothing wrong with having one way of doing it, but I think it's a bad habit. I believe in range. Like, there's a lot of tunes that I play all the time-sometimes I hear 'em in a different register.

Jefferson's authority to reconstruct proved singularly disarming and all-encompassing. — Stephen Skowronek
