We sat around and I fed them barbecue and whiskey. And pretty soon everyone started to compete with each other on the guitars. It seemed the more everyone drank and ate, the more everyone got into it.

I really like the old stuff that I cut my musical teeth on, and I loved it when the industry was just like that, without really a genre. Today, country radio's more aimed at a demographic than a genre. It just softens everything.

No matter who you meet in life, you take something from them, positive or negative.

Every storm runs, runs out of rain

When you take other people's opinions, you end up flailing and you have no center.

And happiness has it's own way of taking its sweet time.

Life aint always beautiful, but its a beautiful ride.
