I intend to keep writing Christmas songs. There's still a lot more about Christmas that can be captured and feel like old-time Christmas. A lot of the traditions haven't been explained in song.

I just keep my head down and work hard on what I do.

You can wave your signs in protest against America taking stands. The stands America's taken are the reason that you can.

I now have a home recording studio, which I can operate entirely on my own, as well as a portable version of the same which allows me to record anywhere I like and simply swap out the hard drives for use in the home studio.

I'm one of those people that thinks things happen for a reason, and you just have to look for the reason.
