“I have a great band, I have a great sax player, Eric Bernhardt, a great guitar player name Mighty Mike Schermer, they are on the record. I have a new bass player because my bass player that has been with me for 40 years; when I started talking about going back out on the road said, “I’ve got to tell you boss, I’m not going out” and I don’t blame him. So, I have a new, young, wonderful bass player named Michael Archer and my drummer is from New York and his name is Mo Roberts; he used to play with Shemekia (Copeland). He came to Austin, he’s lived around various places and he may be thinking of going to New Orleans; if I were a drummer, I’d go to New Orleans to get my butt kicked (laughs.) I do it periodically to get my piano butt kicked (laughs). A lot of these places ask for a 75 to 90-minute set and I have a hard time doing that because I tend to go more like two hours or a little over that (laughs). The guys laugh if we have to do an hour or under an hour, they just shake their heads; I don’t think she can do that (laughs). The tour is just a week, it is all in a tight little pattern in the Northeast. We have six gigs in seven days, I prefer to do it like that; I’d do 16 gigs in 17 days. I love what I do, after laying off for a while I really had to make an effort to stay in shape over the last year because when you are used to doing over 100 gigs a year and then laying off of that; you can lose your muscle tone; I had to play some private and personal gigs for myself (laughs).”
