I'm more of a rhythmic player. My soloing is pretty much limited to playing slide guitar.

Classic Rock radio gave us our longevity.

When people come to the show they think we are a legendary band because they hear us on Classic Rock radio all the time. It is psychological. That's okay - I'm down with that.
