I've had great fans, and they've been so loyal over the years.

I loved making Pure Country. It was a great learning experience for me, seeing another part of the entertainment industry.

I listen to Mark Chestnutt and think he's a great singer - and he really does good material.

I love to fish offshore for billfish, and have fished all over for them from the Bahamas, St. Thomas, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico to the Texas gulf. I haven't made it to Australia yet, but someday I'm going.

My son had toyed with the idea of writing and trying to write a little bit, so that kind of gave me the bug to write also.

I can only say thank you and thanks also to all of the great songwriters who wrote those wonderful songs that became number ones.
