But then as I got over halfway through, I got more encouraged to keep at it. I just record when I feel like it. If it had been booking a studio and hiring musicians and getting an engineer and a producer, this album would never have gotten made.

"I wasn't sure I'd ever get around to it. I've got a little studio at home, and I used to record on analog tape when I had a studio in LA. But I've gone digital. I got the studio set up and I just started messing around and doing things without really having much of a plan for it or even plans to release it.
