I can't stand too long of a record.

A great hang is mandatory. But in all of my years as a traveling musician, on a whole it's been pretty damn magical. There have been a couple duds along the way, but most time, I'm in awe of the guys who want to play on my records.

My band can tell you, I'd rather do anything than rehearse.

I never sing a song more than twice because my fear of waning excitement for a piece is part of my troubles. I so rely on vibe, energy and emotions that the technical part occurs to me last.

Music should be poor. Music should be with out air conditioning. That's just the way it is.

I can find some way to make poetry out of my life's experiences.

I love being a gypsy and getting on the bus with the band making sounds for the people who love and enjoy a night of Americana and good times.
