Like most musicians, Im good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what weve done in the past.

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.

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.

The most fun is to play clubs, because you actually get to see the people.

Like many musicians, I don't look back much... only concentrate on what music I'm doing, and occasionally look ahead.

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