I'm always looking for great songs, and not being much of a songwriter, I depend on great songwriters to send them to me. I go through tons of stuff, and sometimes you just find material that kind of fits and becomes something special.
From George Strait
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.
I always enjoy it when I walk on stage. There were some times when I was working so much in the '80s, and I felt really burnt-out. But I'd be up there singing and not be 10,000 million miles away, you know, just opening my mouth and the words coming out.
I discovered in college that country music could be fun adding some swing to it.
If twang isn't what I do, I don't know what is.
In the beginning, I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make and have hit records.
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.
Of all the songs I've recorded, 'Amarillo By Morning' always sticks out in my mind.
Swing is my favorite kind of music.
When I think about putting together an album, the process of listening to hundreds of songs each time and picking out the best 10 or so that will go on the record, it really sinks in as to just how many songs I've listened to all these years.
