When I Was About 3, My Grandfather

I Wrote Songs All My Life, Where Anyone Wanted To Hear Them Or Not.

There Were Some Older Guitarists On My Side Of Town, And I Got To Know Many Of Them

I Was Born In Alabama And My First Live Music Experiences Were In Church. Every Sunday We Watched Regional Gospel Groups On Television Singing Their Hearts Out

When I Was About 3, My Grandfather Used To Give Me And My Sister A Nickel To Sit Out On The Front Porch With Him And Sing Songs.

When I Was A Kid, I Liked The Newer Music That Was Coming Out. I Have Never Really Felt Confined By Any Style Of Music. I Would Play In Bands That Were Soul Bands Or That Played Standards - Any Kind Of Music That I Enjoyed Playing.
