I don' t normally play to crowds of people who are my age. Reynolds has been to Fort Collins more than once on past tours, and even made a brief visit to the Lory Student Center Commons last spring for a free concert on the last day of classes. Although live shows are the main medium by which Reynolds performs, he enjoys both forms of showcasing his music. It's a whole different kind of energy exchange. Live is not like playing sports, but it's physically engaging in that way.
Recording is almost like meditating.
A self-taught guitarist, Reynolds has been playing for over 30 years. He says he has no preference for acoustic over electric models. You wind up playing simpler parts with a band. We had a lot of funny names go into it. Reynolds' concert in Boulder tomorrow marks the end of his tour.
