I Make The Songs And Part Of

It's O.k. To Accept Good Fortune.

I Feel Much More Physically Connected To My Voice, And I Like The Physicality Of The Voice, And How The Voice Can Physically Occupy A Song.

There's Very Little Admirable About Being A Pirate. There's Very Little Functional About A Pirate. There's Very Little Real About A Pirate.

I Still Make Music. I Still Write Music And I Record Music, I Just Don't Trust Music Promotion [and] Distribution Right Now Enough To Record A New Set Of Diligently Worked-upon Compositions. I Do Trust The Audience And The Audiences Very Much.

I Valued The Experience Of Making The Recordings, And I Value The Performances Contained Therein, And I Value So Much Of What They Can Represent. I Also Think They're A Terrific Listening Experience. Putting Them Out This Way Was A Way Of Trying To Maintain And Nurture The Relationship With The Audience And Also Shine A Light On The Recent Past, Because We Are So Apt To Be Forgetful As Human Beings That There Was Such A Thing As A Recent Past. These Are Some Of The Reasons For Making This Record.
