My Mother Used To Play Nothing But

When I Look Out At The People And They Look At Me And They're Smiling, Then I Know That I'm Loved. That Is The Time When I Have No Worries, No Problems.

I Sing The Songs That People Need To Hear.

You Can't Fake This Music. You Might Be A Great Singer Or A Great Musician But, In The Need, That's Got Nothing To Do With It. It's How You Connect To The Songs And To The History Behind Them.

Johnny Guitar... Just One Of My Favorite Singers Of All Time. I Met Him When We Were Both On The Road With Johnny Otis In The '50s When I Was A Teenager. We Traveled The Country In A Car Together.i Would Hear Him Sing Every Night.

To Me, Country Music Is Like The Blues, But It's Something Very Hip And - I Don't Want To Say Commercial - But It's Very Worldly And Good Listening.
