I'm from Middlesboro, Ky., a little town on the Tennessee and Virginia border.

I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.

And about in the late '80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.

I thought I'd gone to heaven, because I grew up watching Roy and Gene Autry

So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.

Doing a series, every week you work with a new star.

Even when I was young, playing college football, and I injured my knee, I bounced right back.
