But by the same token, I want it to be good musically as well as funny, and not only the lyric but in the production and the sounds that tell the story.

I feel very lucky to have had the success that I've had.

Now I want to take some time to do some things that are not possible when you are committed to 8-12 shows a week for 8-10 months each year.

I have had a wonderful run in Branson and it is an important part of my 50 year career in the music business.

Back in those days, we weren't so hung up on demographics and radio stations played a playlist of all styles of music.

But I used to sing background on a lot of sessions, I played keyboards on a lot of sessions.

When it came to switching voices from Gitarzan to Jane to the monkey, well I was a big fan of Brother Dave Gardner - he wasn't a singer, well he tried to sing, and he did a fair job - but he was mainly a comedian. But he would do the high falsetto and his normal voice.

I mean, I've - I think I've wanted to write songs and make records since I was a sperm. So, thank goodness I was able to do that - so far.

Branson, for the most part, was people who were only known in that area.

The only Elvis session I was on, I played trumpet on it, with Charlie McCoy.

I love music, but I do have a sense of humor and I love to do a funny song.

Me and Jerry Reed and Joe South and all the guys down there, we'd show up every day and bug the engineer and get him to do stuff.

The only Elvis session I ever played on, I played an instrument that I could barely hold.

I had just signed with Barnaby, and I had also just been told I was going to host Andy Williams' show over the summer, and I wanted my first record on Barnaby to be a hit, and I wanted a song that could possibly be used for the theme of the summer show.

Clyde is a direct marketing label.

But I see where I've screwed up big time - I see things that I could have done differently and had a lot more successful ride here. But of course, hindsight is 20/20.

No, I like all kind of music, comedy music being one facet of that.

Houseboats are a lot of fun.

And I don't do parodies. I do comedy songs.
