To Make A Song Is A Gift,

I Was Never Much Of A Bass Player.

I Got On The Phone With The President Of My Label And I Said, "obviously, I Write Songs In A Lot Of Styles And Play A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Music. We're Getting Toward The End Of Our Business Collaboration. If You Could Envision A Record That You Wanted To Hear From Me, What Kind Of Record Would It Be?" It Wasn't Like Asking Him To Fill An Order, It Was Really Just A Conversation. For All The Things I'd Ever Asked Him, This Was One Thing I'd Never Asked, And I Don't Know Why. So I Was Curious. And The Thing That He Was Most Interested In Hearing Was A Solo Record.

While You Can Fill Every Heart As Your Own Full Of Laughter Loud As Gold And Passion Quick As Silver.

That's Why I Played Music; My Social Skills Were Limited. I Think A Lot Of People That Experience That Pick Up Guitars, Because They Can't Communicate Otherwise.

I've Gotten To A Place Where I Still Love To Play And Sing, But I Don't Have Any Ego Agenda Left, Outside Of Just Wanting To Stay In A Creative Place And Play Music. I Much Prefer To Sing For Somebody Else, And To Somebody Else.
