I never stopped working, but I did let my contract run out. And I didn't really actively pursue it.

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.

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.

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

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

I've been lucky. I've had this history of having an appeal to more than one type of audience.
