I`m from the Bob Wills and the Little Richard school of music. Bob Wills did what the hell he thought, Little Richard did what he thought, and those were my big influences.
I`d like just to be remembered as a guy that came along and did his music, did his best and showed up on time, clean and ready to do the job, wrote a few songs, and had a hell of a time.
I was always very grateful to `em and am grateful to `em now. I went back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw, the worse things got for me musically.
I never expected to record again. I knew I had done everything I ever wanted to do. I was satisfied. But... all the time I`m watching the country music horizon. And I`m sayin` `Lord, is there anybody gonna come?`
I got to realizing that I wanted to record, I wanted to experiment. And doing those same old songs the same old way - I said, `I think it`s time for me to have some fun.`
