Biggest compliment you’ve ever gotten from a fan?
Kenny Roger’s wife said the way I played “The Gambler” was “nice.” Not sure she was a fan, though. Do I have fans? I have one that I bring when it is hot during the summer.
Favorite piece to perform?
The songs I wrote for my kids. The one for my youngest is coming, I promise.
What do you sing in the shower?
I normally don’t because I get to thinking about so much in there.
Favorite cereal?
Honey Bunches of Oats. I love them honey bunches.

Of all time, “Wagon Wheel,” although “Amie” has suddenly made a comeback here lately.
