You're successful if you can get one person to pick it up and put it on the turntable and go, Wow, thanks for writing that!

I put everything I can into a record. That's what art is for. I take a risk every time I do one with my whole being.

I was playing in bands before high school even. My first band I was in at 14. And we were playing just Beatles.

Are you under the power of gold?

I love home. I'll stay up there for days on end, I won't even go down the driveway to look for the mail.

I wanted to pay tribute to my musical influences: Buffalo Springfield, Lightfoot, the Beatles, the Hollies.
