I think somewhere in the back of my mind I've always wanted to make a whole swing album.

After I found April Barrows, I felt I had found a soul mate. Her stuff is exactly what I was looking for.

I love decorating my home. I'm a gardener too, so that's usually something I have to play catch up with

I made a Christmas album a couple of years ago and just put it out on my Web site. It kind of smacked of this flavor. All of the reviews said it was Western swing even when it was Christmas standards.

For some reason, the concept of writing with swing chords was intimidating.

One of the things that I think is such a constant in country music is that the song is so much a story. I believe it is supposed to be based around a story.

Ive always seen myself as sort of this funky, eclectic artist.
