I can't even say I've begun yet, but I'm trying on the idea that there is a book in my future.

I don't live in as much fear as I used to. I'm not afraid of the music business. Life is too damn short. I know what's important, and the tasks are very clear.

A gourmet meal without a glass of wine just seems tragic to me somehow.

Standing knee deep in a river and dying of thirst.

You know, your speaking voice comes back, but your singing voice you use in a different way.

Sally Barris has a voice like sparkling crystal. You could have knocked me over with a feather the first time I heard her. Her writing is from a deep, yet innocent, place and her point of view is just a bit off center. I am excited for her, she is standing at the beginning of her journey in this town, with all of it ahead of her. It reminds me of the first time I heard Beth Nielson-Chapman or Nanci Griffith. It's going to be fun to watch.

I want to savor the aging process. As you get older, you trade your innocence for wisdom and the wisdom is your reward.
