I like to sit in front of the computer, going through files of music, and recording the final vocals, guitars and what- nots. But the windows are always open and you can hear the crickets, birds, chickens, and even the sound of rain hitting the studio. The farm is a great place to hang out in, learn from and create music.

Two halves don't make a whole. Two wholes make a whole. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.

In the words of Michael Jackson: I'm a lover, not a fighter.

The studio and road both have their charms. The studio allows me to be a mad scientist and the tour lets me feel like James Bond.

Musicians are so well covered in the press, it would be great to see more outspoken practitioners of green life.

I won't give up. Even if the skies get rough.

What I'd love to do is work with kids in the U.S. to raise their awareness and encourage them to be global citizens. We're all connected these days; we can listen to the same music as kids all around the world and share our ideas.
