If music became extinct now, I dont know what Id be good for.

I soon gave up instruction for self-teaching

I feel like I have the greatest life an artist could dream of.

I remember my first moment onstage was at a 4-H contest at the Pratville Junior High School cafeteria auditorium around 1965. I had my first electric, a Silvertone with the amp built into the case, and I won first prize.

We were playing popular music, but we were doing our own arrangements because we were too lazy to sit down and figure out the originals

I don't write on tour. There is so much to do day in and day out when you are on the road.

There were some older guitarists on my side of town, and I got to know many of them
