No one enjoys being away from friends and family.
I enjoy anything to do with music.
If you listen to what's on the pop charts, everything is machine oriented.
You can't play bass in a vacuum.
Not one song on the charts is being played naturally. But when you go see someone live it's special. Even though you can fool people, I know there are people out there who still play along to tapes.
You're playing the songs for the audience and they still think they're good songs. So I tend to get excited by that, audience reaction.
