Q: “You have learned, really from the first time I saw you, how to talk to an audience, how to be friendly and personable on stage…”

A: Thank you and I love it. I love it. It's natural with me. I mean, I don't have anything rehearsed. I just get up and talk just like I'm talking to you or like we're in the living room and it doesn't matter if there’s a hundred people there or if I'm playing a concert and there’s 5,000. And it's just natural and it has worked great because it’s enhanced my career, so to speak.
