I Was A Sloppy Kid, Wanted To

Country Music Has The Great Stories.

My Mother Always Told Me, Even If A Song Has Been Done A Thousand Times, You Can Still Bring Something Of Your Own To It. I'd Like To Think I Did That.

It's Not About Battling The Original Artists When I Record These Songs, It's About Paying Tribute To Them.

My Mother Was A Jazz Fanatic And She Wanted Me To Play The Piano So I Could Play Jazz Tunes. I Wish I Had Learned But I Was Too Busy Getting Into Trouble!

My Mother Always Wanted Me To Be Glamorous. When I Thought About That, It Really Fired Me Up, And Once I Lost All Those Pounds, I Started To Feel Really Good About Myself.
