Every summer, around late July and into August, I find myself in Europe, performing at any festival that will have me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Next year I'm going to be a guesting soloist with orchestras all over Europe, to start off with.
I really do try and play as many festivals as possible.
I've performed in China, France, New Delhi, and Indianapolis, and everybody just allows themselves to go at it and have a good time. I think that's what I'm doing through music. It's not about 'I'm from here and you're from there.' It's about unity.
I want to play more festivals.
So I'm in my 51st year of playin' mostly nightclubs. I do some concerts.
The international travelling gets harder as I get older, but when I'm performing on stage, it makes it all worth while.
I want to tour, everywhere I can, all of the world.
Bonnaroo is the most significant festival in the country. I can sometimes just get caught up in the moment and listening and say, 'Oops, I gotta go sing now.'
In the winter, I'm always in Europe. July and September are New Zealand and Chile camps. I'm always on the road.
I am touring in Europe. I am putting together a trio and a quartet. I am playing solo concerts with my symphonic sounds. I am very much engaged back to playing and recording and everything.
