"Sometimes," Stevens concludes, "I feel like I'm a pioneer in the old West. I'm out here in my car with a bunch of antique instruments, driving all over the country, playing songs. I feel like I'm in this secret society, because I'm really doing it -- making a living playing this kind of music. And I can drive to Bozeman and fill a bar and get the people screaming and dancing and having a great time with just a guitar and sweat on my face. That's a successful night for me: I play some songs, sell a few CDs, make some friends."
