Andy Paley got us a show opening for his band at an outdoor show at Simmon's College, on a Friday.

They played Boston. They played at the Boston Tea Party and through an amazing chain of events I got to hang out with them backstage even though I was underage.

You can learn a lot when you play in a little town in Holland or Western Australia, and you learn different things than you would learn playing a big city.

Playing shows and making records keeps been getting easier and more fun.

Well, you know it was so different from when you rehearsed. You're out there with your guitar and trying to get a sound, but it doesn't sound anything like what you expect!

I don't do any songs that I'm sick of now - sometimes even songs that I request. If I'm sick of 'em I don't do 'em even for myself.

Sometimes it works. Sometimes I feel like playing "Hospital". Sometimes I feel like playing "Pablo Picasso". I've been playing a lot lately. I do it as long as I feel like it.
