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.

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

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

I prefer to think of myself as a musician who is still learning and trying to do something every time out.

I have always felt I was more accurately a Hard Rock musician.
