I've always had just enough success to buy me some more tour dates and another record.
I moved to Nashville at 17 to make music, and since then I've put everything I have into doing it right.
I don't know anybody as creative and unique and off the wall as Dia Frampton. She's always asking me, 'Am I too weird?' I just tell her, 'People don't think you're weird, they think you're cool.'
One of my pet peeves about Nashville is that it tends to be copycatted. I don't want to do that. I've got to be different.
The way my family always did Christmas was on Christmas Eve, it wasn't really centered around a dinner on Christmas Eve. It was more about keeping the kids calm. Sometime after dark is when we were going to open all the presents underneath the tree from Mom, Dad and the kids and everything - just the family presents was every Christmas Eve.
