hi jim. i think my morning jacket is really cool and I like what I've heard of your new stuff as well. as someone who hopes to make a living off of music making in the future, I have a few questions. I hope you don't mind.

which part of the transition from being someone who doesn't make a living from music to someone who does did you find to be the most difficult?

how long did it take until you were able to support yourself?

how did you make ends meet before you could make enough money to live off of from music?

did you ever have to deal with issues of self-consciousness or a lack of confidence before going on stage? how did you handle it?

what kinds of mistakes did you make when you first started making songs that you have since learned to correct?

what was the production process like for your upcoming album? was it just you in a room with a computer, or was it recorded in a studio with other musicians? or was it a little bit of both?

I hope you don't mind answering all of those. regardless, thanks for doing this ama! ps: touch me I'm going to scream pt 2 is one of my favorite songs ever. so thanks for that
