Yeah, touring can get rough some times and draining, but I always have to pinch myself and realize that I'm doing what I love.

Well, people who are blues purist types are usually the most vocal and the ones that pop up on the websites.

Probably my favorite artists to listen to James Taylor, Stevie Wonder - I haven't gone back in a really long time and really listened to them - my first guitar influences. It's been awhile since I revisited that.

I have an awesome church home and an awesome Pastor down in L.A., and I couldn't be happier.

I think my favorite thing is the mystery of life - it makes you feel that much better about accomplishing something.

My parents had a huge pile of records - vinyl! - that I loved, especially the Motown stuff, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding.

I'm not a fast, stream-of-consciousness lyricist at all - I know some guys who are, and if there is one skill I wish I had, it's that.
