I'm Blessed, Because I Enjoy Every Part

Everybody Has Their Own Soul.

The Music Business Has Made A 360. It's A Whole 'nother Game. It's Not Nearly What It Was. And I Fear For It, Because, You Know, With The Advent Of The Computer And Online And Downloading And All These Things, They Have Destroyed - That Stuff Has Destroyed The Record Business, Not The Music Business, But The Record Business. The Music Business Is Well, And It's Alive And Thriving. Now, I Hope Something Happens To Turn It Back Around To The Point Whereas It's - You're Earning A Living From Writing Your Songs, From Your Work, You Know, Because It's Not Like That Anymore.

It Kills Me To See People Think That, Show Business Is Sex, Drugs And Rock And Roll. And I Have What You Call A Meet And Greet. I Do It Before The Show. But When I Was Doing It After The Show Especially, There Would Be People Who Would Come Back And Said, Ok, Smoke, Where's The Party?

My Uncle Claude Was My Favorite Uncle He Was Also My Godfather. He And I Were Really, Really Close. He Used To Take Me To See Cowboy Movies All The Time When I Was A Little Boy Because I Loved Cowboy Movies. He Got A Cowboy Name For Me, Which Was Smokey Joe. So From The Time I Was Three Years Old If People Asked Me What My Name Was I Didn't Tell Them My Name Was William, I Told Them My Name Was Smokey Joe.

Though You Treat Me Badly, I Love You Madly.
