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. |
It paints a nice picture for people who may or not know who the Chieftains are. |
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. |
