Paul Butterfield and I had a band together at one point.

I love to play; a stage is a safe place for me to be. It's not that way for most folks, but I'd be lost without it.

When I was younger, I had big visions of changing the world.

The Band was always famous for its retirements we'd go and play and get a little petty cash together, and then not see each other till it was time to fill our pockets up again.

After convincing myself that was maybe you should at least help out your neighborhood, I really started to think about it later on in life.

I saw Ronnie Hawkins play near my hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, and I saw him play there on New Year's Eve and the following spring I booked myself to be his opening act on maybe five shows, and he hired me after the first night.

Also a portion of my sales go directly to Greenpeace.
