I do know many a band out there, because believe me, we've played with most of them, who are together because they have to be. They might not talk to each other offstage, but they realize they can earn a living by going out and keeping that music alive.

I try to be careful to not just say it's a greatest hits show because we've also made efforts to keep people up to date so to speak because we continually write and record and put out albums.

The first year with the success that we had and let me point out that the time frame changes depending on which decade you look at it. In the seventies acts were kind of expected to do an album a year. If you look at the Beatles they were doing three a year.

I know of musicians who have played together for decades who hate each other. The Modern Jazz Quartet for one.

Those who talk don't know what is going on and those who know what is going on won't talk.

My most cryptic, strange songs might be my most personal, but that isn't how people are going to receive them, because they don't know the code.
