Well, The First Year I Lost My

Yeah, I Was In The Phase For The Last Ten Years Or So Where Every Record I Made I Said Ok, That's The Last One, I Don't Want To Record Anymore, I Don't Want To Do This Any More, I Don't Want To Have A Public Life.

No, My Step-daughter Just Opened A Theatre School For Children, I Have Another Daughter Who Works In The Record Industry And Another Who Is Going Back To Collage And I Have Two Little Ones At Home.

I Was A Songwriter; That Was The Torch I Carried. This Is An Honorable Profession. This Is What I Do.

When I Was 18 Years Old, I Went On The Road With My Dad After I Graduated From High School. And We Were Riding On The Tour Bus One Day, Kind Of Rolling Through The South, And He Mentioned A Song. We Started Talking About Songs, And He Mentioned One, And I Said I Don't Know That One. And He Mentioned Another. I Said I Don't Know That One Either, Dad, And He Became Very Alarmed That I Didn't Know What He Considered My Own Musical Genealogy.

And I Don't Think That Success Is Going To Destroy Me At This Point In My Life, Like I Used To Think.
