I was 17, and a friend said, 'Man, you've got to listen to this song,' and he played 'Man to Man.' From there on, I was hooked on country. Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Clint Black. Every show that came through America West Arena, I was there.

I didn't think I liked country music. Then I got into Garth Brooks.

I came to town thinking that everybody had the same idea of what country music was that I did.

I've spent a lifetime in love with country music.

My love, growing up on the Prairies, was country music.

I have always been infatuated with country music.

To me, country music has always been the home for a great song.

On that show, I did country and some rock, too, whatever record I had out at the time, I'd sing that.

I once sang 'Summer Nights,' from 'Grease,' at a bar in Melbourne with John Travolta, who's a good friend of mine. He looked cool singing the part of Danny - sitting in an armchair, smoking a cigar - while I got stuck playing Sandy.
