I don't know what I was trying to get out of a tenor - but it never really satisfied me until one day I picked up my alto and I said, 'Where have you been?' and I said right here for now on!

There is not many tenors in the male category and that makes me stick out.

When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.

I wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.

A superb tenor voice, like a silver trumpet muffled in silk.

I'm a baritone. Baritones don't mature until late.

God smiled on me in every sense. I was born a tenor, and you know what that means. Tenors are a rare commodity.

I'm a farmer with a mandolin and a high tenor voice.

My voice is an instrument.

You have to make a choice when you start to sing and decide whether you want to service the music, and be at the top of your art, or if you want to be a very popular tenor.
