The average life spans of many bands are not that long, up to five years if they are lucky.

It's always push and pull with a record company.

I love playing with Jeff. That's something I never really say in the press, but he's my favorite bass player. I've played right next to him for 10 years.

Star Anna is an American original. She sings from a place of beauty that takes me to a higher place.

I am constantly amazed at their support over the years.

Other bands gave us lip service, but when it came down to it they kind of backed off. That was a little disheartening. But I respect them. That's their business.

That's what music has always been to me: a feel. I've listened to the Stones many times and it still makes me have that feeling of joy every time. They are still around and put on a really exciting show. We also give it 120 percent.
