It's different now but I enjoy it more than I did then. I think I appreciate it more now and I love playing acoustically. This is the way I started.

But now I enjoy it because it's the twilight of my career, where I can play what I want and I can play when I want and where I want. And that's the greatest part it all. So it's sort of a right that I've earned. I can record records the way I want to.
