My
heroes are John Wesley Ryles, Curtis Young, Dennis
Wilson, and Don Rich.
Everything I ever did singing harmonies I learned
from these guys. My influences go farther back,
but my education definitely came from them. I
just had to listen to the greatest records made
in the seventies and eighties in Nashville and
those are the guys that were the backbone of all
the recordings.
My
songwriting has blossomed a bit in the past few years.
I've had songs recorded by South 65, Jake Owen,
Montgomery/Gentry, and Coley McCabe. Not many,
but enough to make one keep working hard.
My
goals are to continue writing
and hopefully someday pen a Grammy-winning
effort.
I
enjoy travel, snow skiing, good food, golf, and
boating.
I treasure good friends and I'm proud to have
hundreds of them here in Nashville. I only regret
not getting to see all of them more of the time.
I credit God, Mom and Dad, Sis, and
the friends I've made along the way for sustaining
me through some very, very tough times. Thanks
to all of them.
