But, yeah, so our band was... We were pretty good.

Or at least we thought we were.

And my parents were... My mom was extremely supportive.

She was a very... She was the kind of woman that would walk into this...

this wonderful facility here and know everyone by name immediately, probably have sung a couple of Broadway show tunes to whoever was paying attention.

She was a big personality.

She had a decent voice.

My dad was always a choir singer.

Okay.

You know, I consider myself a guy who luckily wrote some songs with an acoustic guitar and singing, and as a result, I get to sing those songs.

That's about as far as I... You know, I always think...

Like, Becca Bramlett sang one of my songs once on a demo that I had recorded.

And I don't know if you know Becca, but Becca's parents were Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett.

Yeah, so Becca's their daughter, and she is fantastic.

Yeah.

Becca's just beautiful tone and vibe, and her energy is kind of her own worst enemy sometimes, but I loved her, and I had her sing this song of mine, and I went, oh,

And this was so dumb, and I finally figured it out, but I used to think that I put so much of myself and so much of my emotion into writing the lyrics to my songs.

And I slaved over them to try to mold them to express what I was feeling, but as I said earlier, to kind of shield myself a little bit in the process.

Sure.

And I think that I thought to myself that I put so much emotion into that side of it that all I had to do was go in the studio and try to be on pitch and on time, and that was about it.
