I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.
Yeah, Under The Table And Dreaming shaped the way that I think about writing songs.
Fender Custom Shop made this nickel plated Stratbelieve it or not, it sounds incredible.
You can't spell 'developer' without 'devel.'
