I love Halloween, trick or treating and decorating the house. And I love Thanksgiving, because of the football and the fall weather. And of course, I love Christmas - that's my favorite of all!

I think it's a natural fit, major league baseball and country music.

I would never do anything that makes the perception of country music worse.

Performing for the Dalai Lama - those are words I never imagined coming out of my mouth.

Music is also supposed to be fun. On this record, (titled 'III'), I really had the desire again to jump back into some good-time, fun-loving songs.

When you find great songs, and somehow you get a spark in a little way, it can become brand new.

It's important that adults get along with each other for the child's sake, and that is our situation.
