It's hard to remember my childhood without remembering music.

I have a terrible memory in general, but one thing I've always been able to remember is my songs.

I think my first musical memory is actually listening to Billie Holiday. I think I must have been, like, 3 or 4 years old.

I grew up listening to show tunes in the back of the car.

There are a million good tunes.

People tend to remember my performances, not me.

Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.

I remember starting out and covering songs.

My first memories of music were country music and Ronnie Milsap. Where I grew up, it was what you listened to. And anything else, you were somewhat out of place.
