Have you found or re-found any hobbies?
I was going to say something funny but I’ll probably just save that for myself. Seems people these days have a hard time appreciating a simple joke. I’ve done a lot of work around the Homestead Fixing this, changing that.
What have you been listening to lately?
Christmas music gets played a lot. Not Specifically by me, but it ends up on the speakers. Some Times will put in classic hits sometimes we will put in new rock. It depends on the vibe at the moment.
Has your songwriting process changed this year?
I can’t say that the process has changed but I can say that definitely the Times has a more powerful influence

What is something positive that happened to you during 2020?
That’s a good question. It’s always nice to think of the good instead of the bad. It’s just that my heart really goes out to a lot of people who work in the Entertainment industry and other industries that have been flattened. A lot of people have had to put their lives on hold for a long time. I think that having our own studio has been quite positive in terms of being able to record and make music videos. Being able to release albums worldwide is always good. I think that hearing from a lot of friends through this time is always a good thing as well. And of course always thankful for our health.
I love their covers of Sweet Child O’Mine, Enter Sandman and Take on Me! Now listening to their new album, and it’s pretty good.
