I really worked to try and be creative enough on the guitar parts so those who aren't real educated would know that there was some difficulty in doing it.

Well one thing's for sure.. all you really need is love.

Country music has become the music that best represents the reality of American life.

I get to cry to Barbara Walters, when things don't go my way. I'll get community service no matter which laws I break.

If I get an idea for a song, I have a melody for it. I'm a musician first. I'm not limited by the fretboard.

I have a to-do list and I have a farm I care for, and things I like to do for fun - going to movies and all that stuff. It's a painfully normal life!

I'm sure there are a few things in my CD collection that might surprise people. I like classical music, the blues, and I'm a big fan of alternative rock.
