I can't write about your pain; I only know my own.

I was singing before I could talk.

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.

Imagery is the most important to me when singing stories. I try to paint pictures with the words and decorate with little to no singing....let the song do the work.

I love the live cut part of making records the surprises are the prizes.

I just had it with the corporate money, money, money label thing.

I can't stand too long of a record.
