So say it loud and let it ring We are all a part of everything The future, present and the past Fly on proud bird You're free at last

I had been on the road for a long time and was not really getting anywhere. Bob Johnston, a friend of mine, had taken over Columbia in Nashville. He asked me if I wanted to come down. I did - thank God I did.

I wouldn't trade places with anybody in the world. I love what I do.

My wife is my best friend, by far my best friend.

A friend of mine, that I had known for some time, came up one day with an old guitar. I don't know where he got it, I don't know how long he'd had it, but he knew about two chords on it. He proceeded to teach them to me, and then we proceeded to go crazy over music.

So say it loud and let it ring We are all a part of everything The future, present and the past Fly on proud bird You're free at last

I don't want to go anywhere where Jesus can't go.
