[I’d request] "Rockin’ In The Free World," "Harvest Moon," "Ohio," "The Needle And The Damage Done," and "Sugar Mountain."
Are you always in search of your next song – jotting down words and phrases or playing melodies – or is songwriting something for which you set aside a certain allotment of time?
Allotting writing time never really works out for me. It doesn't feel very natural when I set aside time for it; it feels more like homework. So when something strikes me, I pick up the guitar and a pen and paper as fast as I can and see how far I can go with it.
How do you measure your own success?
Success for me is simply being able to make a happy living doing what I love to do, which right now is writing and performing. If I can do that – and be able to afford rent, food, and car payments – I’ll be pretty happy!

Priscilla is great - can't wait for that Hotel Cafe Tour!! Meiko is one of my favorite new artists and I try to catch her every time she comes through town -- her album just came out on iTunes - check out her Myspace to hear some of the songs!
