When I think about my new CD, the word 'joy' comes to mind. I sincerely hope that each listener will feel the earth, spirit, and aggressive creativity emanating from this album.

I've developed an audience over the years and I don't want to loose them.

I grew up with Al Jarreau. We had a band together and worked these places for three years when neither one of us knew we could make a living doing music.

I would much prefer that they take me as I am, that way the experience is genuine between the both of us.

Well, since I produce and pay for my own albums, it is the ultimate freedom.
