For the writing and the idea of "Peaches n' Cream," well, first of all, I love that saying.

It just, you know, gives a good feeling.

And I have friends that some, you know, they don't care for my music.

I have this one guy that said, "You should put a little more snap in your music."

I started asking him, "Well, what do you like?"

"Oh, I like the old greats.

You know, the scat singers, Ella Fitzgerald, and you know, that stuff you just don't hear anymore so much."

And I started thinking, "Well, we can make that happen again, maybe," you know?

And I started thinking peaches n' cream and dancing.

And, you know, pictures come to me and words come with those pictures, and this just kind of came together.

And I recorded it a long time ago.

And you know how Facebook is, you can put things up there.

And he commented, "That's the best song you've ever written."

So he didn't know that I wrote it with inspiration from something that he had said.

But evidently, it worked, because that song, it became a song because of that idea.
