On Saturdays I worked all day in Hunter Gaunt's drugstore in Winchester, and then at night, my mother drove me to Front Royal, where I sang pop tunes.

I don''t wanna be rich, just live good.

It sure gives me faith and a wonderful feeling to know how many fans and friends are wanting me well again.

Im gonna be something one of these days.

You don't appreciate home until you leave it and, let me tell you, you can't appreciate life till you've almost left it! Some people hope and die with their song still in them. I used to think that happiness resulted when my earnings matched my yearnings! But not anymore!

You might say it was my return to the living that launched me as a singer. I was placed in an oxygen tent, and the doctors brought me back to life.

The final words of a domestic bully: If you leave me now furious angels will descend upon you and bring you back to me.
