I have visualizations where I'm living in a really cool place - probably outside of town - with a really dope studio where I can record music or film things. Just have my own mini production house. That's really the thing I'd love to end up with the most and only do gigs when I needed to and also amass a little bit of a crew around me.

The more you write tunes, the better they will become. The more you do gigs, the better you will become.

My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.

Generally, what I try to do is always have a money gig and an art gig.

You learn to read the audiences after a while, and there are all different kinds of gigs.

Guitar gigs were everywhere in the '50s, and I started diddling around so I could keep working. Playing honky-tonk, simple stuff. I took a few gigs with an organ band that put me out front.

Some gigs will go great. I figure you do a gig, and as many as can get there will get there.

Back home, playing music is never anything you imagine you can do for a living. It's what you do after work.

My gigs are built on improvisation: I go out there and I'm like the Energizer bunny.

I do road gigs occasionally but I don't want to go out on the road for months at a time.
