It’s really interesting, I tailor the set to the place we’re playing and to the audience we’re playing to. There’s a certain formula of songs that have to be included that are expected, but I don’t go changing it up, I think if you give the audience the songs that they want and then give them something unexpected, it’s a great situation for the audience, but also a great situation for the band.

The live thing is separate from the record for me. I have to figure out a way to make the songs work live. It's always going to be different than it is on a record, because every record I've made, there are people playing parts on there that are not going to be coming on tour with me. As much as still feeling connected to it, it's more like rediscovering.

I was asked to do a test commercial shoot for an Apple product which didn't mean much to me at the time. Some music player that holds all your songs. Sounded cool to me and I never gave up an opportunity to work, especially with the possibility of it turning into a national commercial. Coolest job I did in that time.
