I Made A Deal With The Devil

I Want To Keep Going As I Have, To Travel, Read, Perform, Write, And Enjoy My Family. I've Promised Myself Only This: No More Laundromats, No More Two-shows-a-night, And No More Deadlines. I'll Work At My Own Pace.

And You Find As A Writer There Are Certain Spots On The Planet Where You Write Better Than Others, And I Believe In That. And New Orleans Is One Of Them.
