“We had such a nice time making that album. It's always a joy to work with such talented musicians. I'm very fortunate that such great players perform with us.”
“Derek has never gone away. He's mentioned every night. We always play a little tribute to him. The fans and the members of this group will always remember him. Once you're a Chieftain, you're always a Chieftain, whether you're dead or alive.”
“I've never wanted to lose touch of the sound of the band, the sound that the Chieftains have created and made well known among our peers and other people.”
