A lot of the songs start with an image. I was sitting there playing the guitar and I pictured this old dirty green car with the window rolled down in the hot hot hot Texas heat and this beautiful woman I knew when I was a kid sitting behind the wheel looking out at me.
Television is such an evolving medium. When you're doing a TV show it's not like you just shoot for six weeks and you're in an editing room with all of your footage. It's like a guitar or a car you have to fine tune things. You stop doing what's not working you work on what is working and you add things that do work.

Johnny Guitar... just one of my favorite singers of all time. I met him when we were both on the road with Johnny Otis in the '50s when I was a teenager. We traveled the country in a car together.I would hear him sing every night.
I don't put myself on Jeff Beck's level but I can relate to him when he says he'd rather be working on his car collection than playing the guitar.
I like the guitar better these days. I like the bass too but it's hard to fit a bass amp in a small car.
I sing a little bit. I got a guitar for my 16th birthday.
I told my father I wanted to play the banjo and so he saved the money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday and between that time and my birthday I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar.
The day before my 16th birthday I got my guitar.
The first guitar I ever got was for my 13th birthday.
