Then, in 1983 I went on a very long concert tour all over Europe.

I do a lot of touring, yes, and I have my whole life ever since I was 19 years old, when I used to tour with Al Jarreau, Rickie Lee Jones, and Jackson Browne as a side musician.

We got a chance to go and play in some places that the usual European tour by an American band didn't go to.

I did a long concert tour in England and Denmark and Sweden, and I also sang for the Soviet people, one of the finest musical audiences in the world.

I've done every kind of touring known to mankind. I've played the big and the small places.

I toured a lot in the U.K. and Europe solo for a lack of funds, really. I left people I'd been playing with for years at home, just because I couldn't afford it.

The first time I toured the U.K. was in the early '90s with Billy Pilgrim, so I know how much the people there love music.

Then we did what we called basically I suppose a club tour in England, which was the time I think that our second album came out, we club toured around the whole country where the venues were hold to five hundreds upwards to that sort of thing you know.
