And I don't feel any form of music is beyond me in the sense of that I don't understand it or I don't have some love for some part of it.

The way you look I understand how you were not impressed, but I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress.

And obviously, when I started out, I had a little bit more curiosity than some, and went seeking out the original artists, or in some cases searching up country music.

I'm a working travelling musician, but just on a bigger scale...

Songs are more powerful than books.

Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.

Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing. And you start talking yourself out of the bold melody and start wanting to arrange it in another key or something. Maybe I just never learned my harmony part, because what everybody says sounds odd to them sounds perfectly natural to me.
