"The Moderately Talented..." is just a commentary on the conflict that happens when a young artist girl looks up to you, but you're attracted to them in a different way than they are to you.

I feel like when the songwriting slows, I'd love to help others with their records. If it's something I really believe in, it's worth the effort.

Nylon string is still a new love and I'm not tired of it yet.

There were a lot more girls at the shows early on. I'd get off stage and there would be options. Those days are long gone, thank god.

When you're a touring musician, you're always turning over new rocks and there's always a certain level of tension in your life.

I'm 45 and I don't have time to spend two years of my life bringing in producers and dragging the record around the planet.

I wanted to remind people that there was a time when music required an attention span.
