As Steve says, “Usually when these folks come over to my house in Nashville, we end up with something I love. I try not to overthink it—there are no rules. It’s kind of like fishing; you don’t catch anything if you don’t throw your rod in the water. I just try to be open to inspiration, mixed with a bit of perspiration and exasperation.”
