MUSIC RELATED:

1. What is your favorite/least favorite thing about playing out-of-town gigs?

Claude: I love going everywhere. Planes and airports suck, but I am strangely attracted to them now. They feel like home, too. Very strange.



2. You mention praying in a few of your songs...What is your religious preference?

Claude: I believe that there is something out there, or in here, or everywhere. I just don't have an organized way of looking at it. But I have a great relationship with this woman.



3. Where do you get your inspiration?

Claude: Where don't I? :)



4. How does it feel to know that your music has touched so many lives?

Claude: When I think about it, my head feels funny, like I took a drink or something.



5. Did you take music lessons, or is it just pure talent?

Claude: Pure? Not sure about the pure thing. It is something. No lessons. I can't read music. I can write it all out in my head.



6. What is one bit of advice you would give to someone wanting to get into the music biz?

Claude: The one that isn't written yet.



9. If you could choose a TV show/movie that would play your music, which one would you pick & why?

Claude: A movie picked us, which is "Mo". But I would like to have had a song in "The Truman Show", "Stranger Than Fiction", or "Donnie Darko". I love those types of films.



10. You have a few songs with girls names, are any of them real people?

Claude: I am a gentleman. Most of the time. Well... Shhh.
