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

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.

This is the kind of problem you want to have! Country radio has been great to me my whole career. I can't thank those folks enough.

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.
