My only failure was the restaurant in Myrtle Beach. I kept it open for four years. It was in a tourist town, it was only busy four and half, five months of the year. But the bills kept coming all year.

There used to be a lot of acts, which was good, because people don't want to see the same act every night. But, you don't want too many acts, you don't want to over-saturate it.

I had some airline stock, but the airlines tanked. I didn't have a lot of money in them, though.

All my money was made doing the dates and selling products when I was out there on the road.

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