I Have Always Been A

I Remember My First Moment Onstage Was At A 4-h Contest At The Pratville Junior High School Cafeteria Auditorium Around 1965. I Had My First Electric, A Silvertone With The Amp Built Into The Case, And I Won First Prize.

By The Time I Did That Third Solo Album, I'd Finally Learned How To Do It, But I'd Also Learned That I Liked Being In A Band

I Was Born In Alabama And My First Live Music Experiences Were In Church. Every Sunday We Watched Regional Gospel Groups On Television Singing Their Hearts Out

I Wrote Songs All My Life, Where Anyone Wanted To Hear Them Or Not.

Around '75 When The Recession Hit, Club Owners Started Going To Disco Because It Was Cheaper For Them To Just Buy A Sound System Than It Was To Hire A Band.
