Because I was successful over the years, I never had the opportunity to do the stuff I really wanted.

It's a great relationship when you can work with the person who you consider to be your soul mate.

And what makes me happy now has changed as well... Its one thing to play in a bar or at a biker festival, and hear a guy who's been drinking beer all day come up and tell you how good you are. For a long time in your life that will make you happy.

I was almost kind of trapped by my own success into only doing rock.

I wanted to play some more grown-up music - jazz.

My family is involved and my wife Brenda is a great, great writer. She helps me with the writing of everything and also sings with me. I owe a lot to Brenda.

So, after awhile, you can only get so much happiness from a guy who's drunk come up and tell you you're great.
