I've made a life and career as a professional musician.

I can easily say I've done everything I've wanted in music.

Every musician, their goal in life is to play music that people love, and I've accomplished my goal. I was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and left that chapter of my life and those people in the past. Good and bad, I've loved and am thankful for that chapter.

I've been a musician my whole life. I'm really enjoying making music again.

I've also become much more the musician I've always wanted to be.

I loved music - listening and playing - but of course I could not imagine I would be a professional musician. It really happened step by step.

You kind of hope as a musician that you get some recognition for what you do, and when you do, it's nice. It's a really good feeling.

As a musician, you just want to be able to do what you love.

Like most musicians, I'm good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what we've done in the past.

The whole process of this record was an education for me as a musician.
