My dad moved to Texas once for a job, a company he did, and I went down there with him for a summer.

And I remember sitting around the guitar, literally did it just to impress the girls.

There was a couple of girls, and so I thought it was cool.

But I don't even really remember that first song.

Yeah.

One of the first songs that I remember writing was the one I wrote when I was in airborne school.

And the government had, Congress had passed a bill allowing the test platoon.

The test platoon were the first jumpers ever to jump in the United States Army.

Hence the name test platoon.

platoon first guys ever to parachute out of an airplane yeah so they were coming to the airborne while i was going through airborne school they we they were going to do the banquet at fort benning georgia and so uh i was calling cadence pretty regular you know and we'd be running you know

C-130 rolling down the strip.

Y'all have seen people, right?

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

And the whole platoon seat repeats.

I was doing that.

And one of the guys come up and said, one of the instructors said, hey, you do a great job at cadence.

They just passed this deal.

Congress, the 82nd Airborne Choir is coming.

They need more cadence callers.

You're going to do that.
