My Hope Has Always Been That Each

Every Recording Session And Tour Is A Very Valuable Time To Me In Terms Of Getting To Spend Time With The Musicians - Whether They're Friends And Family Or People I've Just Met - Because I Don't Have A Job Where I Get To Interact With People Everyday.

My Booking Agent, Of Course, Here And Overseas, Their Tendency Is To Want To Build On A Certain Kind Of Measurable Success, And I Was Thinking Yesterday, What I'd Like To Do Is Maybe Start To Compile A List Of The Best 200 To 500 Capacity Rooms Around The World And Just Start Going To Them Again And Again And Again.

At The Same Time, You Don't Want To Be Blindsided At Some Point Because You've Taken Too Much Comfort From Knowing Nothing. So You Try To Keep A Little Store Of Practical Knowledge. At A Certain Point You Have To Pretend That Something Is True In Order To Have A Relationship With The World.

I Want To Be Successful And I Want People To Hear The Music And I Want To Make Money At It, But If It Isn't What You Do, Eventually It Seems Like That Will Cause You To Not Be Able To Do What You Do. If You Did That For A Couple Years, You Would Just Become Someone Else, Which Is Fine, I Guess...but I Don't Want To Become Someone Else. I Want To Do What I Enjoy And What Feels Right.

One Thing That The Internet Has Created Is The Sense That Information Is At Your Fingertips, When It's Really Only A Very, Very Limited, Specific, And Slanted Kind Of Information.
