I think you can have moderate success by copying something else, but if you really want to knock it out of the park, you have to do something different and take chances.

Nominations come and go. It is not going to happen to you every year, and I am very well aware of that

I can see me continuing to make the best music I can, and let the chips fall where they may.

In my office, I have framed album covers by Dottie West, Connie Smith, Tammy, Dolly, Loretta and Jessi Colter.

But I'm also a music lover, and I'll always try a lot of different things.

Background vocals during her song "I Hope You Dance" .....'Time is a wheel in constant motion always, rolling us along. Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone.'

And I also have a camera, a Web cam, and I have one at home, so I can hook up and talk to the girls, and they can see me while we're on the bus in the middle of nowhere.
