We're no good at holidays, the WIFE and I. We just don't have the knack. We had one good one, EARLY on, but that was a fluke. Everything SINCE then has been a nightmare.
I signed with Big Yellow Dog and have been with them for years. The PRESIDENT of the company is a woman named Carla Wallace, who is an AMAZING publisher who just has a KNACK for FEMALE artists.
I sang 'American Pie' a LOT in my stage set. It had a KNACK of uniting an audience in a sing-along. It's a clever SONG about American history but wrapped in a FANTASTIC tune.
The Knack were a very, very POWERFULBAND, and you GOT to understand, when they came in, all the punk stuff was still GOING on. There was an amazing conflict within the scenes.
I think I had a knack for MUSIC, but I think what I was more SORT of talented at more than anything, because I don't think I'm a great singer, I think that I grew up imitating DIFFERENT voices that I HEARD.
