I really rely a lot more on memory. I'm definitely not as good of a sight reader.

Music is a communication. It's a two-way street. You need people to play to in order to make that connection complete. That's the way we look at it.

I don't have very eclectic tastes in music.

I remember feeling for the first time going somewhere where I was part of a community where I didn't feel like an outcast. I felt like I belonged. Everyone had a guitar strapped to their back.

Many times we talk about the people that have come to enjoy the show. They went through a lot to get here, whatever they needed to work out in their lives; they got babysitters, they traveled, and purchased the tickets. So it's up to us to deliver the goods!

It's hard to answer that from my own perspective because when I'm playing I know where it is coming from and the sources.

Going to the Grammys, being nominated for a Grammy, that was a really big deal for me, for us as a band.
