I'd stopped going down to the wooden nickel office because, you know, what am I doing down there?

I met a few people, and I finally started playing again.

I started going back to the clubs, playing solo.

And I had a new kind of energy or something.

Something was different.

My voice was... I'd healed my voice, and I was just... And I started writing again.

I wrote a song called Keep Pushin'.

Walking down the street in downtown Chicago, and it just came to me, the cadence I was walking with, and that song was kind of like, I made a demo of it, made a demo with it with some great Chicago players, but I thought, I could hear REO doing this song.

Interesting.

Yeah.

And that demo got back to the band somehow.

Because Irving's partner is a guy named John Barrick, who I was always closest to him with the management.

So I think I must have sent that demo to John.

I think John got it to the band.

And they were... Well, they were smart to do that.

Well, they liked what they heard.

And that was the song, I think, that got me the gig back.

Keep pushing.

Yeah.

It was a big change.
