You know, when you're making a record, you come up with 15, 20 songs. Then they start to fall by the wayside as your interest wanes. It's kind of like a process of elimination to determine which songs wind up on the record. ↗

I'm lucky the arthritis happened at the time that it did because of the record. ↗

I know if I don't tour people will forget the record and you run a high risk of the record failing. ↗
