No matter what does, or doesn't, happen for me in the music industry, getting to play the Opry as a kid was always be a highlight of mine.

Things have always happened better for me than I could plan them to.

I'm really lucky to have some super-talented friends.

I build an entire fort out of pillows. I need at least four pillows. I need on each side, I need one normal usage pillow for the back of my head, and I need another pillow just in case.

My first place in Nashville was like Animal House. The whole band lived under one roof, and most nights the jam sessions ended close to sunrise.

My best friend from college engineered my record. He and I keep in touch on just a purely one-music-fan-to-another basis.

I try to aim high and put myself in positions where I'm the least experienced person.
