My playing started to develop through the Miles Davis stuff I was listening to.

And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.

I wanted very much to be Miles Davis when I was a boy, but without the practice. It just looked like an endless road.

The school plays needed kids that were big and bold and weren't afraid to be on stage, and I fit that bill, so I was expected to do it. And then I went to college, and the exact same thing happened.

A lot of scouts said I was not capable to play short. Every team that came to me, they wanted me to play third, and I wanted to show everybody that they were wrong.

I thought I was a pretty good shortstop, but I also wanted to play in the major leagues.

I do have to step out and take time to let people know that I'm Ronnie Dunn and not Brooks and Dunn.

I don't know why, but I was really good in that first play.
