we got one question out of the way early and now is the answer there's not a single interview for john jennings were married shaping carpenter doesn't come up with a man who's produced her co produced all six of carpenters albums says that's ok she's been my best friend and i mean we've been close relative ease the date for goodness sake and i mean we are wearing real tight and people can mention her name in association with mine foreman with hers all day long it's fun their collaboration has resulted in five grammy awards sitting on his shelf at home jennings who's just me back to the dc area after five years and nashville is best known as a producer and not just from very cheap and carpenter but also for the likes of bulls elaine john gorka and janis ian now the six foot two blue eyed guitarist has his own records his debut album body garner excellent reviews in nineteen eighty six his name was police i belong to you tales of his observations over the years both personally and impersonal and that one lesson he's learned that every human endeavor safe love is trivial if you think about what really put still a new tank
art is just the law for me i can't think of anything else that is as interesting as human interaction personal human interaction maybe even intimate human interaction there's nothing else that that's remotely as interesting isaac says give those things it guys vs i think it's sort of a break position to take to say you know whatever it is that happens i care about you i can alter that and there are things i want and i'm not going to the door
muscle them up and blunt my edge just to be safe it's easy sing the will to do as you get older especially because you don't have the time or the inclination to just been through too much or it's just also dreary and i don't buy it has plenty of reason to be really excited about all kinds of things most of the tracks on this album deal with relationships some dark some angry others tell of the moment where we mess up did things we all don't know what are you going to do it in one grand gesture or watch it kind of like the sands through the hourglass so they are the days of our lives you know it it's i mean it's so many ways to screw things up but there are also lots of ways to make things really go and i think the biggest waste is to never forget what it is that draws into someone in the first place so
you can see the seams what he wants for the city having so much already it's kind of what do we want oh you know i mean i haven't really nice career going so producer co producer and musician all that and that's really good that should be enough for any sane person but there's the scientists got the bug and i would love to sell a million records fortunately i don't think i have to sell quite that many in order to be able to keep doing this but that's what i want to know and then i won't be able to do until a felucca ride this don't have anything worthwhile to say his new cd on vanguard records is called i belong to you for nashville public radio as
