I Never Set Out To Write A

I Didn't Grow Up In The Typical Happy American Home, But Music Was Always A Safe And Wonderful Place For Me To Go.

My Mom And Dad Played This Music All The Time When I Was Growing Up, So To Me Songs By Jerry Lee And Fats Domino Are The Classics, They're The Best Songs Ever.

I've Been Gone On The Road For The Past Three Years; Maybe I've Been Home For Two Or Three Weeks In A Year. I Literally Live - It's Like One Of Those Old Movies Where They Show A Train, And Pages Of A Calendar Are Peeling Away Like Leaves, And Then There's A Picture Of Me With Gray Hair.

I'm Not A Very Spiritual Guy When It Comes To Music. I Remember Hearing Carlos Santana Say That Angels Helped Him Write His Songs. And I Thought, 'really, Angels?

I Still Don't Know If I'm Good Enough Or If It's A Calling Or A Vocation Or Something, But The Talent Part Is Out. My Desire To Do It Is Undoubted. I Just Love Doing This.
