I would play all the parts of the song, show them the way it went together. Then I'd basically break down an arrangement - I wouldn't plan endings or beginnings - so they knew everything that was going on. I had the lyrics on a prompter so that I could remember everything I'd written, and I was able to just get into the groove and play with them. I think "Peace Trail" is one of the exceptions, where it's a later take. It just happened really quickly.

Nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan.

In the fields of opportunity it's plowing time again.

I go in and sing the song and arrange it and mix it and that's it. It's no different than playing in clubs.

Our educational system basically strives for normal-which is too bad. Sometimes the exceptional is classified as abnormal and pushed aside.

Holding back is so close to stealing.

I'm always open to new stuff. I don't sit and try to figure out what to do, I just wait for an idea to come.
