I was a groupie for a year and followed a band. I dated the drummer of the band.

I've got the big name, but I've always wanted to be in a band, one of a band.

My dad and grandpa were in the army and as a country singer you're constantly playing at military bases all across the country and meeting soldiers and their families and hearing their stories.

The drummer in my first band was killed in Vietnam. He kind of signed up and joined the marines. Bart Hanes was his name. He was one of those guys that was jokin' all the time, always playin' the clown.

My brother had a big band in high school; after that we continued to play together, eventually forming a group called the Jazz Brothers, that recorded for Riverside Records.

A close girlfriend of mine and I have been writing and playing together for years and decided to make it official, so we formed a band called 'Everly.'

I had friends in this band called Mars and they used to play a lot.

I've never been in a band, but I've hung out with a lot of musicians and helped them with their shows. It's something that I'm really drawn to.

I'm also performing regularly in Southern California with two bands. As a solo artist doing acoustic sets and a member of the Jenerators, my rock n roll band that has been around for a long time now.

Starting in the mid-'80s, I played in a band called Meat Joy, and we made our own record, toured.
