I Think People Should Feel Encouraged To

Going Out And Playing Music - That's What I Do. I Don't Do Much Else.

My Songwriting Is Like Extending A Hand To The Listener.

Your Personal History Is A Part Of What Happens With Your Hands And Your Head As You Play Music.

Neil Young Is My Hero, And Such A Great Example. You Know What That Guy Has Been Doing For The Past 40 Years? Making Music. That's What That Guy Does. Sometimes You Pay Attention, Sometimes You Don't. Sometimes He Hands It To You, Sometimes He Keeps It To Himself. He's A Good Man With A Beautiful Family And Wonderful Life.

In A Way, As Much As We Love To Be A Big, Loud Rock Band, The Acoustic Album Was A Lot Easier To Make Than The Rock Records. I Think Because It Was Brand New Territory For The Band.
