I've Got Sunshine On A Cloudy Day

I Always Try To Write A Song, I Never Just Want To Write A Record. Originally I Was Not Writing Songs For Myself. ....and I Can Say This, Most Of The People Who Have Recorded My Songs Are Songwriters Themselves. ... Even If I Don't Release It Myself, Somebody Else Might Hear It And Want To Record It. When You Write A Song, It Gives It That Potential. When You Write A Song, A Song Has Longevity. ... So I Wanted To Sing Inspirational Music, And That's Exactly How I Approached It-only The Words Have Been Changed To Declare My Relationship With God. Songwriting Is My Gift From God.

When Someone Picks Up One Of My Songs And Records It, I'm A Flattered Man, It's A Blessing To Me

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.

If You Feel Like Loving Me, If You've Got The Notion, I Second That Emotion.
