In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories is of my Dad singing in the USAF Band Of Flight in the Masonic Temple in Dayton, Ohio in 1993 at a Huge Christmas show. He pulled me up to sing Rudolph in front of thousands and I've been hooked since! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Merle Haggard, Going Where the Lonely Go Ray Charles, Modern Sounds In Country and Western Music, Vols 1 & 2 Willie Nelson, Teatro It's impossible to pick just three, but these three stand out as records I listen to more than others. Call me old fashioned, but there's something sincere and heartbreaking about great country music and I love to feel something. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Mr Jerry's Ghost” This song tells part of my story that essential to knowing who I am as am artist and person. So much can change in the blink of an eye. Or in my case, the shot of a .40 caliber pistol. My perspective is what changed, mostly.
