Why not just do something a little more on the gentle side?

The breeding programs for the bulls have improved significantly. The bulls are at a much higher caliber.

I don't know what makes a guy want to write songs and sing, but if you've got a message, you want to get it across. When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.

I always was one who didn't take things for granted. But I think I do appreciate things more now. The small moments of joy that we find each day are so much more precious now than when I looked at them before.

In fact my son subscribes to Pro Bull Rider magazine.

I really didn't go that hard, although a couple of years I did. Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. they're just goin' all the time.

When you get a little older, you think, I'd like to make a little money and stick it away or buy a place - or win the world championship.
