“The Imposters is a different group than the group I started out with. We have strengths in different areas than that first group, because obviously the three of us that have played together for forty years should’ve learned something, you know? We should have gathered some things and maybe put aside some other qualities of music that seemed all important when we started out. If you just stay with the same playbook, it wouldn’t be very interesting, and Davey brings a lot of different things to it, because he’s a guy who plays with a predominantly rhythmic feel. He can still come up with nice melodic inventions, but that isn’t his main thing. It’s the groove, and he’s a great singer – it’s arguable whether I was a singer early on.” | “The Imposters is a different group than the group I started out with.
