I like to play small clubs.

There are just certain sounds, music, that sort of you know people are going to like it.

Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people regardless.

In church I was told that if I so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, I’d be damned in hell for all eternity... it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong... I didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.

More and more people are finding out the benefits of it - hemp and marijuana. The more they delve into it and research it, the more they realize, Hey wait a minute, we should give this another look.

Those people out there like good music. They don't stop and ask themselves, 'Is it country or rock and roll?' If they like it, they will tell you.

I was influenced a lot by those around me - there was a lot of singing that went on in the cotton fields.
