Live A Little, Love A Lot.

I'm Glad I Took That Time To Work Really Hard On The Music. I Feel The Effects Of That Now In A Positive Way With My Connection With The Audience.

When I'm Onstage I Feel Changed.

My Mom And My Real Father Divorced Before I Was One. My Mom And My Stepfather Divorced When I Was In High School. Then She Fell In Love With A Guy, And The Guy Died. That Was A Rough Time. She Has Handled Adversity Well. That's Where I Got My Work Ethic. So My Mother's Where I Got My Love Of Music, But My Father's Where I Got My Athletic Ability. And My Hair Loss. And My Love Of Women.

I Was On One Bus With My Band And Crew For Seven Years. I Didn't Come To Town With A Karaoke Tape. I Didn't Get On A Tv Show. There Were No Shortcuts. Anybody Who Wants To Follow My Model Is Welcome To It. You Don't Want To Follow My Path.

It Sounds Like A Cliche, But It... You Do Sing About What You Know About. And I Grew Up In A Small Town, And I Grew Up In A Place Where Your Whole World Revolved Around Friends, Family, School, And Church, And Sports.
