We played everything from "White Sports Coat" to Bill Haley and the Comets - whatever happened to be the "in music" at the time.

Country music has changed tremendously, so what now is considered country was not considered country at that time. We were doing stuff that probably could have been called country music today, but would certainly have not have fit in at that time.

I just feel such freedom to do whatever. If a song's seven minutes or ten minutes long, then so be it - it's that long.

The funny thing is, the music that I'm writing now is probably some of the most cutting edge we've ever done. The music that I'm thinking about putting on our next album.

I played on three of Bob Dylan's albums. I have very pleasant memories, especially the Nashville Skyline album was a real fun album to do. He was in a great mood. He was glad to be in Nashville, where the musicians were very laid back and very creative. We had a lot of fun doing that album.

I just thank God I can make a living doing something I enjoy as much as I do playing music.
