Excerpt from Gold Coast Piano Man:

Music is magic. True statement, know what I mean? Singing a song is absolutely the same thing as casting a spell. I’m always the Merlin in the room… trying new incantations, coaxing love, easing digestion. Some of what I do is just trite hocus pocus, but I’ve also got Alakazam! I’m a witchdoctor, sprinkling a pinch of Wayne Newton with eye of Toad the Wet Sprocket. Potions I've got; melodies, chants, snake oil, and the real shit. Sometimes, I’m the melancholy practitioner in the corner best just left alone. At other times, I’m the master of the bacchanalia. If a night goes pagan, I know my responsibilities.
