I'm the proverbial kid in the candy store. I'm a guy who is lucky enough to have been chosen to turn his compulsive hobby into a profession. If I didn't have my job, I'd be doing almost the same thing for free.

There are enough painful experiences that go along with this trip that it keeps me in reality. It ain't all gems and roses.

You can really do some clever editing even within the limited two-track format.

The mindset of the people who put the shows on and those who go buy a ticket is so fundamentally different. The band themselves don't have a sense of things, and I found this out after a lot of years of pain and frustration.

I'm in a state of learning, and I don't have any set-in-stone ideas about what shows or even what eras I want to pursue.

I'm swamped with input. I want input, but I am so far behind on what I got here that I can't keep up with what people are sending me.

I want everyone to be able to have the same experience through the music as me. It's important to get it out.
