When a record co. finds a guy now, they want to own everything. They want to own the rights to market that person's particular name. They want a piece of the action all the way through.

If I cut an album now and sell it for ten bucks, I can put seven dollars and fifty cents in my pocket.

I'm set to have my best year ever: I'm hiring some acts and there will be a show in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. I'm going to use my theater to its fullest potential.

A record co. is just a vehicle for public appearances.

I never made any money off of my records. It gave me the name across the country so that I could do some of the things in my personal appearances.

So I'm trying to spread myself to the point to where I can do the night shows and not have to worry about the matinees, and do one or two matinees down through the year.

I don't own everything, I do have a partner.
