Worst (Best Backhand): The first time I sang at Fur Peace’s student performance I played and sang “High Flying Bird” and I was terrible. As I was coming off the stage, Jack Casady leaned over to me and said “You’re a very brave man.”

Best (feeling from audience reaction): I was playing at a small place a couple of weeks ago. We had just done an original song of mine (about the Sago mine disaster). It is only the third original song I’ve performed in public. After the song there was a little delay as I had to switch instruments and I often “chat” and make jokes between songs and I made a point of acknowledging the applause. Just then the applause got louder and more vociferous. I hate to admit it, but it was a great feeling.
