For my second record I had gotten ProTools and started to familiar myself with hard disc recording.

I wouldn't say that I've had a tough life by any stretch of the imagination.

Things come to me pretty regularly. There is never a shortage or a backlog

So, once I've written a song, you know, I'm pretty happy with what the song is on its own terms.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer or King Crimson or Gentle Giant - the worst prog rock references I can come up with. Though I totally loved those groups as a kid.

I make the kind of music I like

I mean, at the end of the day when I'm making a record, what I want to do is what I do
