Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it's not my whole life.

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

You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete. And as long as there is breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.

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.

From here on after let's stay the way we are right now. And share all the love and laughter that a lifetime will allow.

I didn't want to be 40 or 50 years old and still playing clubs, I didn't feel like I was making any progress, and I actually gave the band notice at one point. I began to have doubts about my abilities.

Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys are simply the best band that ever was.
