The country experience was more of a departure. When you consider my education and my upbringing, you can see that was more of country rock outgrowth of my popular music aspirations.

I did I Love My Wife on Broadway in 1978, and then went into television land. Now things are starting to come together in the way I thought they might when I was a kid.

With Schubert, a lot of the melodies are very simple, but he's in this groove. He's in touch with his heart.

When you're doing the traditional musicals, singing songs that are 40 and 50 years old, you realize there's a reason why those musicals are hits. These are amazing songs!

I have no experience performing that music live in front of an audience. So that remains to be seen. I'm very excited to see what that's going to be like.

I think now I'm being taken a little more seriously. That's pure conjecture on my part.

I've made it clear to my agents that I want more interesting stuff.
