If you have twenty guys in the room and you just bring in one girl, you change the entire mood and everyone plays different.

Lighting is an essential way to change the mood of a room, especially if you can use dimmers.

I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat. I don't tend to write for a particular band - you have to just write the songs and then let God into the room and let the music tell you what to do.

We want another year before we record an entire CD. Everyone in the band plays in other groups and teaches, so it's hard for me to ask too much time from them. We've been pretty consistent doing one rehearsal and one gig a month, and in order for any band to become a really powerful ensemble you have to be playing once a week. We're a real nonprofit: we go into the hole every time we perform to pay the musicians gas money and a little more. Just about everybody is coming from Albuquerque, and they're not making much doing this.

I've always loved the word blunderbuss. I've always thought that it was a beautiful word and that it could mean several different things.

I'm a Scorpio. I have different mood swings.
