“I got a new 4-track cassette recorder a year or so after high school. For a while I would just stare at it thinking, how am I going to do this if I don't play guitar or keyboards? How am I going to write and record a song if I don't know how to play any instruments? I mean, I played the violin, but I didn't know anything about how to work a 4-track.” IfsThinkingKnowsWritingYearsMeanPlaySchoolSongKnow HowRecordsHigh SchoolInstrumentsGuitarTrackStaringViolinKeyboardsRecordersCassettesAfter High School Author:Petra Haden
“I thought about what I wanted to do besides playing violin and singing backup in a band. Don't get me wrong, playing and singing in That Dog was really fun, but I wanted to work on other musical projects and sing more. So I started a vocal project, i.e. Imaginaryland.” WantedFunDogBandProjectsSingingMusicalVocalViolinBackup Author:Petra Haden
“I played violin from when I was about eight to thirteen, so I could read a little bit, but if you put a piece of music in front of me now, I would probably know the notes, but not the timing, how they're supposed to be played, and I just don't know how to read chords. If I'd stuck with it, I'd probably have more jobs.” IfsKnowsLittlesJobsBitsKnow HowPiecesFrontsLittle BitNotesEightStuckSupposed To BeTimingChordsViolinThirteen Author:Petra Haden
