We have such a cooking band and it’s a lovely opportunity to do all kinds of songs of both of ours. He sang it to me and I said, "That sounds like a perfect song for us." We love doing it. I never listened to the Traveling Wilburys. We have to be careful and let people know we need tender-loving care.īut seriously, how did you decide on that song? I’ve been following what you’ve been singing on your concert tour and I find it interesting that you’re opening with George Harrison’s song (from the Traveling Wilburys) “Handle With Care.” Does your choice of that relate to the fact that you and Stephen have been beat up and battered around? They’re singing that over in Washington all the time. Maybe it’s a good thing he named a room “Send in the Clowns.” Nowadays, it’s come true.
