8.what would you like to tell your fans? hi. how are ya?


9.what do you think about the internet an its affect on independent musicians? i think it's a great medium for creativity.


10.how do you feel about bootlegs? if the people who are being recorded don't care, I don't care.


11.what do you think about Napster? I have mixed fellings about it... A really long time ago the major labels didn't want recordable cassette tapes to exist for fear that too many people would buy a record and tape it for a friend. They felt that it would cut down on sales. Sound familiar? Now they are in fear of Napster for the same reasons. For that reason I totally support Napster. For the reason I don't support it is all the big wig ($$bill y'all) investors that are making $ off of us. That makes it complicated. If it's some people trading music or whatever that's fine... but when it's some big daddy making some huge cash without spreading the wealth that's kinda not cool. make sense?


12.where did you get your incredible sense of humor? my quite unique family.
