For the last year and a half, I'm actually really enjoying myself on stage. Before I was happy we could please the fans, but I was always looking out of the corner of my eye, trying to keep track of Jan - making sure that he wasn't getting up and going someplace that he shouldn't or worrying that he's going to trip over something and hurt himself.

But I kept thinking it didn't seem to matter. I had talented guys around him. It seemed as though our fans were pretty forgiving, and they were just happy he was there.

I was told for a good 5, 6, 7 years, 'You're going to have to do something about this because he's just not good any longer,'.

Surf City has nothing to do with Santa Cruz.
