And then, when I started to school, I found out I couldn't talk.
But if you put a script up in front of me to read, or a cue card, I couldn't do it without stuttering.
But now I've been in the arena for 47 years and I stutter less today than I did in those days.
I'll do about 13 shows in Branson next year, and I'll be performing at the Grand Palace.
And I got to know Red Foley well. And I got to know Lefty really well, he was a great guy.
I'm not retiring.
I didn't get to meet Hank Williams. I was in the Air Force on Okinawa when he passed away.
No, my son's a songwriter and he does that.
Or in the early days we didn't have the bus, we had a station wagon.
Well, no, you can prepare it all you want, but I'd still stutter.
Well, you know, back then there wasn't many albums, it was the singles. You sold singles.
You know, being an entertainer is partly being on the road, and a lot of your songs come from the road.
