Phil Lewis Quotes
My voice has served me well. I do a little 15-minute warm up before I go onstage. It really helps a lot. I keep my trap shut after a show. I don’t go around doing interviews after a show. We don’t do meet and greets. They can go very badly. If I got consecutive shows I just go to bed. A little discipline goes a long way.
