JB- Jackie Biggar

KP – Ken Perlman


JB: And You know you're doing a good job when people start playing your tune the way you play it, cause that tells you that people want to listen to your playing. If you play a tune and you put your twist on it and nobody does it then you know you're not doing too good a job. If you put your twist, if you put your own signature twist on a tune and first thing you hear somebody else is playing it, and next thing you hear some other feller's got it, you know you've done your job.


KP: [summary] How do these twists develop?


JB: It just comes. When I was playing there last night, one of the tunes I was playing there, I forget which one it was. But there was two or three notes that I wanted to put in there extra, you know over and above, because they were in my head. I bypassed them for now; now whether they'll come back again I don't know. But I know they're there now. I don't know how to explain [how] to do it, but it just comes to you as you're playing.


KP: You mean as you're playing you hear another way of doing it?


JB: Yeah. You hear the note should be there, or maybe shouldn't be there. When you're home you'll think of it, then you try it and, "God, that don't sound too bad!"
