Periodically, I return to the classics for inspiration and refreshment.

I still love to do the old songs. I know some people don't.

The very fact that I've had those established me to continue on to do new music and new projects.

I've seen and learned enough to keep my music fresh and spread out.

I admire those old road dogs, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan. That's their life.

I actually spend as much time listening to new music as to old. Probably more. I just try to get something out of it all.

I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.

My songs emerge from my life, or wherever they do, unbidden and unplanned and completely on a schedule of their own.

There's always going to be life experiences that find their way into my songs.

I write my songs because I've lived them.
