Bassists Quote by Hiromi
“For the piano and me it is always a blind date! I meet different pianos every single day. I can't take my piano with me like a bassist can take his instrument. So whenever I arrive I am a bit nervous to see what kind of piano is waiting for me.”
![“I am surprising myself [at] each show, and the delivered piano often surprises me. Sometimes the piano is so old that I don't have to prepare it, and sometimes I have a concert grand!” quote by Volker Bertelmann](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/03a/volker-bertelmann-21848_concerts_i-am-surprising-myself-at-each-show-and_1913371.jpg)
![“We went to South America on a trip and all I had was a Robert Johnson album. So that's a definite influence on the album. My bandmates John [Stanier, drummer] and Henry [Bogdan, bassist] were interested in expanding their roles as writers, so that had a positive impact on the record.” quote by Page Hamilton](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ccd/page-hamilton-38715_albums_we-went-to-south-america-on-a-trip-and-a_1667032.jpg)
