To me, when a great band is playing together, it's amazing for me.
I have a great family, I live an amazing life.
We collaborate together. We work with other people. We work by ourselves.
If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same.
I like playing on stage, don't get me wrong.
Jam Cruise is actually a comfortable place for me. My jamming skills and my improvisational skills have improved immensely as I've gone more solo, because I've had this opportunity.
