“There are a couple of songs I am writing, although I don’t have any words yet,??? he continued. “I will be doing all the music and lyrics. It will be me and my back up band playing the songs on the record.???

The singer also revealed that his favourite band in recent years are the UK’s Magic Numbers. Asked about his health at the moment, he explained: “My health is about average – I’m not in real good shape or real bad shape, I’m in real medium shape.???
