We have not been together for 30 years, and it was a little weird. It was kind of strange playing the old songs. My favourite is “Electrics” (originally from the 1983’s Listen) because I have not played it for years. But again, it was very strange, it was like that was another band who recorded it.”

Somebody at the record company suggested the idea, of recording an orchestral album of our older songs. A person from August Day asked if we would be interested. They contacted everyone from the band. We were actually never in the same studio together. It was recorded in different studios everywhere.

To be honest, I would not want to put that band back together. I like the band I play with now.

I Ran, So Far Away. I just tell them that I hated that song on that day. But I love the old songs.

Bands don’t have MTV and there seems to be a lot less radio. There are no D.J.s anymore and whatever D.J.s are left are not given a choice. Now they just record their part at home and everything gets fed into a computer. I did an interview recently at a radio station, huge building, but when I got in there it was practically empty.

I happened to be in England and three of us got together. Ali was filmed in North Carolina. But that is the thing with technology today. You don’t have to be together to do a video or an album. Everything can go through the internet. Streaming makes things possible.

I don’t really care how music comes to me, as long as it is a good song. I would not want to be a new band trying to make today. You either go independent and play live a lot and get good at playing live, or you sign a deal with a major which is hard to do these days. I don’t have a record deal. I play live and put out records when I feel like it.
