And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.

I'm not a toy boy, bellybutton band, so I don't have to worry about that. Actually, I never did.

As you know, the business is cyclic with styles. It's no different from clothing styles.

I've had the big ups and the big downs.

Artists in not only country but other genres usually make four or five albums, then they change producers to keep their sound moving forward.

I'll do a cappella stuff, rock 'n' roll and swing stuff.

My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s.
