I have 120 employees on the road every day, and about 30 other employees off the road.

I feel that energy up there on stage. The band, the crew and our road family - the look in their eyes - they're so happy to be back doing what we love to do.

I think there is a part of life that I'm missing.

I was on one bus with my band and crew for seven years. I didn't come to town with a karaoke tape. I didn't get on a TV show. There were no shortcuts. Anybody who wants to follow my model is welcome to it. You don't want to follow my path.

One word, that's all you said and something in your voice caused me to turn my head. Your smile just captured me.

I love the fact that I can go out there on stage with a guitar and sing a song that means something to somebody.

I hate my smile. I always have, even in my school pictures when I was a little kid.
