I like to present something that the people haven't seen or haven't heard before. Otherwise they might as well just stay home and play the record.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't want to record anything unless it can be great and genuinely interesting.
That's what I used to enjoy so much: Bringing a record home, having it arrive in the mailbox. Having the whole experience of hearing it as you're holding it and looking at it and reading the liner notes, if they're anything.
When the audience leaves, I'd like them to feel positive when they go.
Whenever I go to a new city, whether visiting or vacationing, I would always make that a point to get to the record store early on, just to get my bearings and see what was going on around town.
It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.
If people get to the end of the record, then that is a treat.
That's like the greatest experiences of my life still, 'Friends,' so it's not something I want to get away from, but I do want to try and show something new.
One of my favorite things is when people will ask for a song that I hadn't planned to play. It is really fun to see if you can remember something, and you don't always. I mean, sometimes it's just crash and burn.
A record is a message, timeless.
I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colors for those who see none.
