| Quotes: |
And when I've been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs.
<br />
<hr>
And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.
<br />
<hr>
And I like music, too, I like playing music.
<br />
<hr>
As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.
<br />
<hr>
My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad. |
