Sometimes if you get 'em too drunk they don't pay no attention to what you're doin' anyways, so you might as well just do old songs. But if you get one that's paying attention, sometimes we'll do some new material.

We need to have music that contributes to the well-being of the spirit. Music that cradles people's lives and makes things a little easier. That's what I try to do, and what I want to do. You don't want to close the door on hope.

I'm just writin' about my little ol' love affair.

The one true friend I thought I'd found, tonight the bottle let me down.

No, it's not love, but it's not bad.

Diana Krall knocks me out. I like jazz and I like her simple approach.

To be part of what you're singing about is somewhat painful. You've got to climb inside it all.
