I'm a player and I do it because I love playing whether it's for my album or someone else's.

I'm in that comfortable niche where I'm not that famous and sometimes people do need to put a barrier between them and their followers. When you're real famous you need to do that but I'm not that famous so I don't need that kind of barrier.

John was great to work with, and a lot of fun. I wish Id had the chance to make more music with him, of course, and to get to know him better.

Through the years I've found that I prefer live playing to recording. I still do lots of recording - but I treasure the live shows.
