You could have a hit in California that no one had heard of in Oklahoma.

And it wasn't until '84 when I was first asked to come to Sweden and do an album and concert tour.

On that show, I did country and some rock, too, whatever record I had out at the time, I'd sing that.

Well, I didn't really have a plan. I just wanted a hit.

He's a mean, mean man, but I love him all I can.

If I needed to record, I'd head to the coast or Nashville, one or the other.

I loved Carl Perkins, Jerry lee Lewis... not only were they personal friends.
