I've gone a year and not written a song just because I couldn't think of anything. But I always come back to it because there's always that little buzz you get when you do something well and sing it out loud to the public. And people clap and tell you how great you are.

Interesting little game we play with each other.

I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands, it'll be a fair curve from a noble plan.

I hear this song and I think, Man, this is ... great. This is the best I ever heard this. I forget I'm the one singing.

This is a fantasy fiddle tune. The part you fantasize is the fiddle.

Mary Gauthier's great. Yeah, we've played a lot of gigs together. She's really wonderful.

I don't know what the outcome will be. I put a couple away for my grandkids, like that. So I don't know, who knows? Maybe I'll start building guitars for a living.
