It's hard to be married to me, and it was a lot harder when I was younger!

When I was asked if I wanted to perform on the Grand Ole Opry, I yelled, 'Are you kidding me?' I've been waiting for that my whole life. To be invited where so many of the greatest country artists have performed is an honor, and I still can't believe it has been bestowed on me. Just to stand in the circle where so many greats have stood-Hank Williams, Kitty Wells, I just couldn't believe it.

We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family.

I am honored that they would include me in the Cabinet as a member and contributor.

There's two times of year for me: Football season, and waiting for football season.

Remember the Stax label and how if you liked one record, you liked all the others as well? You don't talk to a lot of people who tell you how much they love their record label. I don't care how many records they sell.

I work hard to let my wife know how much I love her. I try to do that every day.
