I Think 9/11 Affected Everybody In One

The Way I See It, If You Want The Rainbow, You Gotta Put Up With The Rain.

I Don't Keep Up With A Lot Of Trends. I've Never Been A Fashion Horse. I'm So Busy Writing My Songs, Trying To Maintain My Business, And All The New Things That Come Along. I Stay Working All The Time.

Music Lives In Me. Life Is A Song To Me. I Have The Gift Of Rhyme, And I'm Always Trying To Write And Rhyme. Music Is Just Natural Everyday Occurrence With Me.

I Wanted To Be A Singer, Of Course, But There Was Something About The Songwriting, Then And Now, That Is The Most Important Thing. It's How I Express Myself, How I Express How I See Things. When I See People Struggling With Emotions And Feelings And Don't Know How To Put It Down, I'm Able To Do That. It's Really Like A Therapy, And It's Like A Buddy And A Friend. It's A Way Out Of A Lot Of Things.

A Lot Of My Own Relatives Didn't Get To Go To School Because We Were Mountain People. You Have To Get Out And Work And Help Feed The Family. My Own Dad Couldn't Read And Write. And My Dad Was Very Proud Of Me.
