I grew up with all kinds of music, but my heart was particularly drawn to Country Music because of the guitar playing, the lyrics and of artists like Steve Warner and Vince Gill.

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

Christmas makes me happy no matter what time of year it comes around.

There is not many tenors in the male category and that makes me stick out.

I'm an entertainer. If people are paying good money for tickets they deserve the best show they can see. I don't get into lighting stuff on fire, but I do believe in going the extra mile.

If I ever did cross over I would like to do it tactfully. I don't want to offend anyone in country. Can you have the best of both worlds? I sure like the idea of it!

I'm not smart enough and I don't know enough about what's going on.

I have no intent. I have no reason to live, that's all. When I'm gone, I don't want to be remembered.

Much of my playing is rhythmic and choppy; I use a lot of double stops. The wah just accents all those stops and chops and brings out the rhythmic aspect that much more.

The world is as it should be.
