All musicians and artists - we all got quirks that have to be put up with at certain times.

When I was a kid, my dad was in construction and used to move the family back and forth between central Florida's east and west coasts.

When I was a kid in school, and you asked me what I was gonna be, I mean, even as a little first grader, I was gonna be a guitar picker on the 'Grand Ole Opry.' I just had it in my head that that's what I wanted to do, having no idea how it was done.

Some people take me as being a rowdy, honky-tonk hero type. Some people see me as a quiet person. I guess I can be either one, you know, at any moment.
