Is the patience of the American people that long suffering? Is there no outrage left in the country?

I think the destructive vicious negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country harder to attract decent people to run for public office.

It is only in the country that we can get to know a person or a book.

I really like all music but mostly Country older R&B and the good classic rock.

Country music is about new love and it's about old love.

When I moved to New York I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.

In these confused times the role of classical music is at the very core of the struggle to reassert cultural and ethical values that have always characterized our country and for which we have traditionally been honored and respected outside our shores.

What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz blues country music and so forth. I do them all like a good utility man.

Country music has always sort of been country music.

It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.
