From the time I moved to San Francisco in 1967 to play with the Steve Miller Band, there was a lot of support in the music community for one cause or another, but this one was special because it was put on by people who understood where musicians hearts are.

I love working with the quartet. I have more freedom and flexibility.

My earliest influences were things I heard in my household.

The short answer is, yes, I think I have become a better singer.

I'm not a jazz singer.

A lot of what I have always done is do other singers.
