Convicts Are The Best Audience I Ever

They're Powerful, Those Songs. At Times They've Been My Only Way Back, The Only Door Out Of The Dark, Bad Places The Black Dog Calls Home.

I Used To Sing Bill Monroe Songs. And I'd Sing Dennis Day Songs Like Songs That He Sang On The Jack Benny Show.

[my Father] Did Every Kind Of Work Imaginable From Painting To Shoveling To Herding Cattle. And He's Always Been Such An Inspiration To Me Because Of The Very Kinds Of Things That He Did And The Kind Of Life He Lived.

[my Mother] Made The Money To Send Me.

I've Always Explored Various Areas Of Society. And I Love The Young People. And I Had An Empathy For Prisoners And Did Concerts For Them Back When I Thought That It Would Make A Difference - You Know? - That They Really Were There To Be Rehabilitated.
