I know country people who have The Carnival.

When you go to Carnival every year, you bounce to, you-know the different music that make it to Carnival in Trinidad. It don't matter about the country you're from.

We have gotten a reputation. People can see a good country show close up and also see the carnival and exhibits. I'm sure they come back year after year because they are well treated and they like what they are seeing.

When I have to make records for people and records for myself, it's two different approaches.

Carnies built this country, the carnival part of it anyway.

It was important that I became successful. People say they do it for the love, and yes, you do it for the love, but you want to be successful.
