It's hard for me to just practice without writing something.

Invisible airwaves crackle with life Bright antennae bristle with the energy Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free

I liked the fact that I was forced to get inside of my emotions and to really try to figure out a lot of what I was going through.

Then, once I have lyrics, being able to shape them around a song is nothing new for me, I've been doing that for 25 years. The soul searching part of it, the spontaneous part of it, that was, and remains, a really terrific process.

So, I don't know what is going to happen when the CD comes out, how well it will sell, etc. But, from a personal point of view, it was a very worthwhile endeavor.

So, I really don't consider myself a fabulous keyboard player.

I am moved more by melodies, song structure, and evocative textures.
