The large venue gives me the thrill that comes from the power in numbers.

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.

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

After so many changes, I realized I'd better cling to my own family and to what I've got right here.

My mother was really into big band. It was played in the house all the time.

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

Ive been playing swing chords for a long time.
