Flying Was As Necessary To My Business

I Learned To Tune A Guitar By Ear. That Method Has Served Me Pretty Well.

No One Had Ever Told Me That Whites Were Supposed To Sing One Kind Of Music And Blacks Another - I Sang What I Liked In The Only Voice I Had.

If Detroit Was A Watershed Concert For Me, Traveling With Willie Nelson Through Texas And Louisiana Was A Milestone Of A Different Sort.

I Might Have Become A Minor Celebrity But Royalty Checks Were A Long Way Off.

I Try To Keep My Feet On The Ground. Even Though I Appreciate The Fame And Adoration, I Remember Once I Used To Pick Cotton, And I Felt Like Even Then I Was Somebody. I Have The Same Feet, Hands And Heart Like Everyone Else. I'm Just Also Blessed With A Good Voice.
