Any Way That You Can Get The

I Started As A Drummer, So I Sort Of Took On Singing Duties By Default. I Had Sung Backgrounds And Some Lead Vocals From Behind The Drums In Different Bands That I'd Been In, And I'd Gotten Great Responses For The Songs I Would Sing. I Really Started Pursuing The Possibility Of Being A Lead Singer Based On The Fact That I Was Working A Full-time Restaurant Job And Then Playing Gigs At Night, Hauling Drums Around. One Day, It Just Dawned On Me That, 'hey, I Could Be In A Band And Be The Singer, And It Would Be A Lot Easier!'

If I Had A Musical Identity That Was Definable Then It Would Be Time To Get Into Painting Or Something Else. Race Car Driving.

If I'm Going To Go Out To Be A Solo Artist, It's Because I Want To Do Something Different Without Having To Wait On Someone Else's Schedule Or Hobbies Or Be Limited By Other People's Prejudices. I'd Be Kind Of Stupid Not To Exercise That.

At The End Of The Day It's The Fans Who Make You Who You Are.

I Never Wrote Music Or Arranged Songs Or Lyrics When I Was Under The Influence Of Anything But Coffee. That's Not Gone Away.
