I love to fish offshore for billfish, and have fished all over for them from the Bahamas, St. Thomas, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico to the Texas gulf. I haven't made it to Australia yet, but someday I'm going.

You can lead a heart to love, but you can't make it fall.

I'm always looking for great songs, and not being much of a songwriter, I depend on great songwriters to send them to me. I go through tons of stuff, and sometimes you just find material that kind of fits and becomes something special.

I remember old Elvis when he forgot to remember to forget.

I was a young troubadour when I rode in on a song. And, I'll be an old troubadour when I'm gone.

All my Ex's live in Texas, and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

I can only say thank you and thanks also to all of the great songwriters who wrote those wonderful songs that became number ones.
