And I think that we're more of an alternative act in that sense, and that flavor comes across to the audience.
Artists in not only country but other genres usually make four or five albums, then they change producers to keep their sound moving forward.
But these days, I get a lot more attention and airplay from the Adult Contemporary and country radio stations, and I feel comfortable saying I'm a part of that.
There's also, I think more so in the music business and especially for women, this ceiling that people put on you if you have children or a family and decide to spend time with them.
Songs like the Buck Owens tune, for example, are very simple and straightforward, and recording it really gave me a chance to get into and get a sense of Buck's personality, a feel for that whole Bakersfield sound.
My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s.
I've had the big ups and the big downs.
I've been lucky. I've had this history of having an appeal to more than one type of audience.
I've always enjoyed playing live onstage.
I'll see you again in a thousand years.
Our show doesn't rely on the typical whistles and bells, and smoke and mirrors. It relies mostly on the music.
In between that time, I've done book narrating, you know, books on tape for Dove Audio.
I'm not a toy boy, bellybutton band, so I don't have to worry about that. Actually, I never did.
I'm just thrilled to see people enjoying the music.
