I'm definitely a singer-songwriter. I'm somewhere in the vein between Elliott Smith and Jack Johnson.

You always have to work to become a better singer, songwriter and performer.

In an age of immediacy the idea of waiting sounds hopelessly outdated. But that said, there is something to be said about anticipation...

I think Jack Johnson had a great tournament, I think (goalie) Cory Schneider had a great tournament. A lot of the guys at the bottom of our lineup played really well. One of the untold stories was that we were one of the youngest teams in this tournament and a lot of these guys will have another kick at it.

I think he's definitely in that vein, ... Obviously he's got a long ways to go before we can say he's as great a player as those guys, but he has the potential and to be as good as anyone who's ever played.

It's my responsibility as a singer-songwriter to report the news.
