SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I definitely consider it a job to sing songs I wrote 40 years ago. With the same passion, the same fascination. But I try to change little things about the songs. Sometimes just for myself, not for the listener. Tweak the tempo a bit, the melody, the harmonies. Songs aren't museum pieces; they evolve. There's no reason to always make them sound the same. I even want a song from today to sound completely different in six months. It's like jazz; my songs have that jazz aspect."
