Country music to me is heartfelt music that speaks to the common man. It is about real life stories with rather simple melodies that the average person can follow. Country music should speak directly and simply about the highs and lows of life. Something that anyone can relate to.

Be real about what you do. Stay true to the voice inside you. Don't let the 'business' change what it is you love because the people, the fans, respond to what is heartfelt. They can always tell when a singer is faking it.

God bless the boys from Memphis, blue suede shoes, and Elvis.

All Patsy Cline had to do was sing somebody else’s song and her version would outsell theirs because it would be so good!

You can't put this possum in a cage

There are questions I'm still not wise enough to answer, just wise enough to no longer ask.

Walk through this world with me, go where I go. Share all your dreams with me, for I love you so.
