“The success factor is a combination of intuition and honestly, it's mostly only intuition. A design business is inherently dependent upon the intuition of its chief designer. Luckily I have a track record that if you show me five pairs of shoes I will almost always pick the one pair that will sell the best.

“You pick up loads of baggage with your first record with reaction to it from fans and critics. So I went to Ireland by myself for a couple of weeks with my guitar.

“You know, albums are a funny thing. They're not like an intellectual decision. It's a collection of your kind of musings.

“The instrumental record is a bit subtler. It's the kind of stuff on sound check, when I first pick up my violin and start to play, the kind of melodies that just pour out of me.

“Although I have guitars all around and I pick themm up occasionally and write a tune and make a record, I don't really see myself as a musician. It may seem a funny thing to say.

It's when you put all these things together - that makes me.” WritingMaySeemsTogetherSongRecordsMusicianPicksGuitarProducersTunesSongwritersFunny ThingsLyricists Author:George Harrison
