I don’t leave my neighborhood. I don’t go anywhere. There are four blocks I live in and there are two coffee shops, one at each end of the block… so I don’t do much driving… Some people would say they never see me because I don’t go anywhere. I stay in the blue state of Nashville, in my bubble.

The piano is just a different animal. It’s expensive, it’s big, it’s heavy, and it doesn’t fit in the mix easily. Everyone grew up with a piano in their living room, so rocking out on the piano was accessible – it wasn’t an upper-class thing. Now pianos have become very much a piece of furniture.
