Joyous Sound evolved from a gospel influence. Actually it evolved out of sitting at a piano and just picking out a riff, a gospel type riff. It just seemed to come joyously-something about the song, about living in another place of joyous sounds. I'm not quite sure-that's one I'm trying to analyze. It just came out.

Common one, my illuminated one, oh my high in the art of suffering. Take a walk with me.

If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?

It will make you feel good, and it will make you feel whole, when the spirit moves you and it fills you through and through.

I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.

I write songs. Then I record them. And later, maybe I perform them on stage. That's what I do. That's my job. Simple. I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it...Music is spiritual. The music business is not. Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
