To Debbie,
I’m eternally grateful.
031027253x_content_0008_001O kay . . . I’ll admit it. I’ve got an artsy streak. Beneath the exterior of this bald, truck-drivin’, dog-lovin’, broken-down old jock lies the heart of an artist. Not that I have many artistic capabilities, you understand, but art moves me. Paintings. Dance. Drama. Poetry. Architecture. Something deep inside of me responds to that kind of creativity.
Of all the art forms, music and movies touch me most. I’m awestruck by haunting melodies, creative chord structures, and tight harmonies. And I love songs that tell the kind of stories that stir your heart—the ones you just want to sing over and over again. Maybe that’s why I’m a country music fan.
