So how has the tour been going so far?
This is our fourth night so far. We've had three shows. I mean it's been real good 90 far — had a real good turnout. And I mean the audience response lias been ridiculous; it's been real crazy, so I'm fed- big real good about myself,
What do you prefer — doing the smalt college towns or the big city clubs. What is your favorite?
As long as the sound is nght, man, it doesn't matter. I could be performing in front of one person, I could be performing in front of a million people. It all feels good. Of course the more people that are there the more you get into it. So it does- n't redly matter as long as the sound is right. It doesn't really matte to me; I'm gonna give my all no matter who is in there or no matter how many- people.
