Olivera: The other was “Love Wasn’t Built In A Day,” with Dave Koz, a very beautiful song. From what I have read it almost didn’t come to be. It took a journey get that one recorded. How did that one actually happen?
Gold: I met Dave Koz after I saw his “Advocate” story after he came out and I had such respect for his talent, he has been signed on with Capital Records for 20 years and has been doing what he has been doing for such a long time. We met at this gay wedding and we emailed back and forth for a while and he was on tour and didn’t think that it was going to happen. The next time I was out in L.A. and he said that he had his saxophone in the trunk of his car and was going to come over and just bang it out and he did. He told me that he was glad, I didn’t give up on that because he had a great time doing it. I cried some real man tears when he did it.
Olivera: Now the video for "Where The Music Takes You” is out, and surprising it is all video is out and its animated and done by famed artist Joe Philips, I know you have worked with him in the past, but how did the video come about and why choose animation?
Gold: Probably because we didn’t have the budget to do live action and animation. Just kidding. I always wanted to be a cartoon character when I was growing up. I am a huge fan of animation and Joe and his animation work. He is the most incredible guy and so freaking talented. We talked about doing this and the animation is totally cool.
Olivera: What do we have to look forward to? Are you doing a tour?
Gold: Absolutely. We are in the midst of putting that together. We just had the CD release concert in New York so I am psyched to go out there and see the fans in different cities.
