The Earth we share is not just a rock tossed through space, but a living, nurturing being. She cares for us, she deserves our care in return.

To clink glasses of a freshly made, seasonal beer, preferably in a pub or garden, with friends and perhaps new acquaintances, is a ritual that makes every participant feel good. We may not rationalize this at the time, but it gives us a sense of place in our common community and our time in the tides of life on earth. This is a way to value beer and treat it with respect.

I could compose and write music and get to share it with the masses and the people around the world and to have them to receive it so beautifully - I love that.

God has always been in my heart and a part of my life and my familys lives. It is through Him that we draw our strength.

When I perform, I lose myself. I'm in total control of that stage. I don't think about anything. I know what I want to do from the moment I step out there and I love every minute of it.

The lyrics, the strings, the chords, everything comes at the moment like a gift that is put right into your head and that's how I hear it.
