If you give it good concentration, good energy, good heart and good performance, the song will play you.

Forever Young, by Dylan, is one of my favorite songs.

Conway Twitty was always our local hero while I was growing up. He had a series of good bands. I wanted to sit in, if Conway would let me. And he did a couple of times.

With horns and a full rhythm section, the drums always looked like the best seat in the house.

I like walking on the edge.
