I'm a country singer. I love all kinds of music, but country is where my loyalty lies. That's just me and what I do, and I'm not going to change it.

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

I've been blessed with the ability to sing, and that has taken me so many places I never would have gone otherwise.

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.

I'm not out there trying to change the world. I'm just out there trying to sing country music the best way I can.

I discovered in college that country music could be fun adding some swing to it.

I just continue to look for different material, great material, as good as I can find, and try to go in there and do as good a job as I can do in making it a record. That's all you can expect. That's all that you can do.
