When a copier sales person cold calls a purchasing manager whom he has never met is it any surprise that the purchasing manager will most likely never return that call?

When you get married and have children, and you start having hits and success and your business starts growing, there's less and less time for songwriting.

Not only am I trying to be a daddy, but also a friend, not be the old fogey thats slowing everybody else down... not for a while, at least.

I grew up going to a real small missionary baptist church. We would sing a lot of the old standards... the hymns and everything. Those songs are still my favorite and are pretty timeless.

I grew up around people that enjoyed life day to day and found pleasure in simple things.

I came from a rural background, and I didn't come in contact with a lot of wealthy people.

Singing allowed me to express myself in ways that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
