When I play with my band around the U.S.A., the most requested song is 'Peace Frog.'

The time to hesitate is through.

I didn't plan on rock-n-roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock-n-roll with jazz, and I thought I could make some money playing music.

I am not anti-Bush. I am not pro-Iraq. I am pro-peace. I have written a song and created a video which expresses my feelings about our culture and values and illusions of what many people believe is the American dream -- the perfect life.

My favorite song to play is 'Smokin' by Boston. I actually had a chance to play that with the band Boston live.

When you're a brand new band, there's a tingly sort of feeling you get when you play a song that you just wrote.
