Everything I Have Now Is So Real,

I Used To Play Pianos In Bars. You Know In Hotels, You'd See Guys Playing Piano With A Snifter? That Was Me, With A Painted-on Mustache. I Was About 15.

I Watch My Contemporaries, And They Love To Live In The Studio And I Don't. I Have A Life. I Treat It As A 9-to-5. I Try To Create Something New Every Day, And Then I Get On With My Life.

I Hate The Pigeonholing That's Happened In The Music Business In The Last 30 Years.

I Just Do What I Do And Hope It's Accepted By The Public At Large. It's Different From When Marvin Gaye And Stevie Revolutionized What Music Was 25 Years Ago. Now There's All This Technology That's Available To Everyone. It's Tough To Be Ahead Of Anyone.

I Started As A Writer And When I Sent My Demos Out Everyone Wanted To Know Who Was Singing And If That Person Wanted A Record Deal.
