It's very difficult to explain the effect the first blues record I heard had on me, except to say that I recognized it immediately. It was as if I were being reintroduced to something that I already knew, maybe from another, earlier life. For me there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall.

I know that when I was a full-blown, practicing alcoholic, everyone used to walk around me on eggshells,
I like her music. I think it's good. And well, I think she's pretty ... even though she's older than my mom and dad. And gosh, my dad is like 30.
It's not a pretence. I will have to work to support the way we live.
It's very hard, so I try and make it as engaging as it can be. But you have to face the fact that, no matter how good it is, you can only hold their attention for a little while.

Musically, Nathan is in the Top 3 as a bassist.
Let's make the best of the situation / Before I finally go insane. / Please don't say we'll never find a way / And tell me all my love's in vain.
I felt it was time to be a little charitable, in terms of friendships and healing up old wounds,
I feel wonderful because I see / The love light in your eyes. / And the wonder of it all / Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.
When you came knocking on the door this morning I was quite happy playing the guitar, for fun, I mean and not practicing and I'll always be that way.
