You also have "Everybody Knows," written by Leonard Cohen, and he was someone who encouraged your writing early on.
He loved it and said, "Let's do it." So we're having fun doing it. I sent it to him with no particular expectations because he's a great songwriter himself. On the record you made with Stephen last year you have the song, "River Of Gold" and that's a new one for you. Let's get this together." So those dates were easily organized by my agent and my manager. They sounded awfully good, so we figured, "Let's continue. We wound up with a pretty tidy group and then we started recording at the start of 2017. Then, we began to try ideas back and forth through the Internet and figure out what kind of songs we might sing. I guess that told us that we could sing together still. I had recorded one song with him about five years ago. The main thing we did was put together some of the songs for our album. So his schedule opened up and mine was always inevitably geared toward doing concerts that I wanted to do. I think a couple of things happened: He was having fewer shows and I think they stopped doing that at the end of 2016. The years went by, nobody brought it up, it wasn't an idea that was floating around. That's something that, at a certain point, was maybe unthinkable for the two of you or something you hadn't considered. We'll end up with 50 more, so we'll have done 100 concerts in the first two years.
We did 50 shows last year and we've done 29 so far this year. It must have been a pretty successful run and seemingly an enjoyable one. Last year you started off doing a handful of dates.
