You know, I'm interested in politics, but I - and a lot of the Republican or right-wing views I agree with wholeheartedly.

And, you know, I never considered myself exclusively tied to any particular style of music.

Now, with digital - and in my little studio, I have 48 tracks. And I can just overdub till the cows come home, and you won't hear a speck of hiss.

We had to pull the record off the market because we didn't get permission from King Features Syndicate, who owned the character Sergeant Preston, to use him in a song. Their lawyers sent us a cease and desist letter, or we'll send you to prison and sue you seven million dollars and all that.

As far as marketing your records is concerned, you have to stick with one bag, or the radio stations don't know what to do.

I was still in high school and made my first record in Nashville at what's now called RCA Studio B.

It's really a lot - you get a lot more, I think, creative freedom today due to the technology than you had back then, but it's not as exciting.

I give people a lot more credit for being diversified than a lot of people in this business do.

You have to do two shows a day, six days a week for six months at a time - plus you have to spend two months gearing up for the next season, and a month or so winding down. So you've only got three months to take a breather inbetween seasons, and I decided I'd better get out of here or I'd be dead.

I am first and foremost a musician.

But in my exuberance, I had neglected to get permission from the folks who owned the character Sergeant Preston to use him in a song, and so they made us kill the record.

I arranged a lot of the Ronnie Dove hits.

And of course, I come from small-town America, my experience had not been in the inner cities, other than from looking at it from my own perspective.

I used to sing with the Jordanaires when one of their guys got sick and stuff like that.

Then my records kinda tapered off. It's my fault, because I didn't pay enough attention to being a star. I was still enamored with life in the studio and producing.

Usually if it's something I think is funny then other people probably think it's funny, too.

If there's a topic everybody is talking about, then there's usually a good comedy song in there somewhere.

Well, you know, I don't think I have a very heavy reputation; I mean - but the song was a fun song.

I loved the Sun records too, when they came later - Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash.

I'm a terrible trumpet player.
