Paul McCandless Quotes

I got past the mechanics of making music, and I started to really just participate in the musical part of it. It was a magical experience that I looked forward to repeating when I could. At that point, I really knew I wanted to be a musician.

I went to New York and studied at a conservatory called Manhattan School of Music with Robert Bloom, who was a great oboist. He was my main classical teacher. At that point, I started traveling with Paul Winter. He invited me to come on the road my fourth year. I told him I had to finish school before I went on the road with him. Then, I went on the road and just worked with him for three or four years, and then met the Oregon guys in his group. We’re celebrating our 30th anniversary as a quartet.
