SE: Yeah, that’s a good one. It’s funny; I’m glad you mentioned that because I’m getting more
compliments on “Lonely In Love.” I’m so excited because even though it’s track 12, it’s still one of the
best tunes on there and you have to end with a bang.

BK: You might also consider releasing “Woman’s Got A Hold On Me” for all the acoustic guitar lovers
out there. I’m sure they’ll enjoy it.

SE: That’s an excellent idea. I do an acoustic show anyway, but I’ve been so close to the thing, movin’
and groovin’ that I didn’t even think about that. That would get the acoustic world more involved

with my music, and maybe even reach a new audience.

BK: And right now, every pair of ears is another pair of ears! We talked about virtual shows and I
saw that you have some dates for shows in Texas in mid-May. Are you still leaving those in place and
hoping for the best?

SE: I’ve got ’em on the books and I try not to look at my calendar anymore because I lost some good

money in April man. I had casinos [booked] that were gonna generate some money. Those were gone;
three of those in April, so I was like “Oh! Ouch!” I’m fine; financially I’ve got it under control.

I’m trying to be realistic and counting on, by then, it’ll be cool; it will be contained, and I can go back
to work.

BK: Was there anything else you would like to add that I didn’t cover?

SE: I just want to thank you so much. It’s been a pleasure talking to you.

BK: Thanks. I’ve enjoyed it as well. Take care and be well.

SE: Take care my man.
