“When I was a kid in school, and you asked me what I was gonna be, I me...” — Dickey Betts Quote

When I was a kid in school, and you asked me what I was gonna be, I mean, even as a little first grader, I was gonna be a guitar picker on the 'Grand Ole Opry.' I just had it in my head that that's what I wanted to do, having no idea how it was done.

Now, I'm not the kind of guy who likes to look in the mirror and say, 'Oh, you're the best.'

You can't play music and be mad at anybody. It'll show in your heart!

Ramblin' was in my blood.

I kind of question whether to say this or not, but it's almost like the Allman Brothers turned into an Allman Brothers tribute band.

It's always been fun for me to play a variety of parts, and over the years, I've been lucky with the things I've been asked to do.

Degree actually came to me and asked me if I wanted to be a part of their campaign, and I thought it was just really exciting and important, obviously to my fans, and growing up I had tons of OMG moments. I get to share my own moments through video blogs.

I think a lot of people, including me, clammed up when a civilian asked about battle, about war. It was fashionable. One of the most impressive ways to tell your war story is to refuse to tell it, you know. Civilians would then have to imagine all kinds of deeds of derring-do.

I've kept my nose clean when I've been asked to to play out of position, and I've done it.
