I've never been a big soloist; I just put in what needs to be there. I'm more of a rhythm player who plays lead - or tries to play lead.

I can sing fine and I can play guitar fine, but put 'em together and it becomes a thoughtful effort.

book celebrate confident fun good love memory music past people supported time
We're making it up as we go along. It's what we always did in the past. We're writing the book as we live it. We feel confident that we will have a good time and that it's something that will live up to the same level. It's an exploratory thing, and we're just having fun with it. We'd like to go out and play for the people that supported us and love the music as much as we have all these years. We want to celebrate what we did and the memory of our friend.
dire point time
We're at the point in time where if the system's not broken, we're in dire straits.
