I think my music is like anchovies – some people like it, some people get nauseous.

Barry Manilow

Every few years, I go back into all the songs and I update them so that it never sounds like an oldies show. If you come to the shows, they’re full of muscle. ‘Copacabana’ sounds like it could have been released yesterday.
