I...
I was writing songs, and I loved songs.
I just always loved songs.
And a good song is just, it's such a, if you're lucky enough to write one, it's just such a gift that you're offering.
And for me, it was a way to connect with people.
Songwriting was a way that, because I had,
I didn't have much luck connecting like you and I, like, you know, just in real life.
So songs were a way of sharing.
And so I think that was my motivation.
I was looking for something.
You know, it wasn't going to be sports, I learned at a young age.
But when I was about 13, I had a guitar teacher named Jim Nance.
He had a... I'll never forget, he had a Gretsch Tennessean, an orange one with...
Golden knobs and the leather pad on the back.
Yeah.
Did he play a Tennessean?
Yes, he did.
You're right.
And he was just my hero.
And one day, he told me I had natural rhythm.
