"I think that's the one thing we all hope for in this life is we leave something of a legacy, that's ..." — Michael McDonald

Where I grew up in St. Louis, Saturday was country music day on television. We'd watch the Bill Anderson show, the Willie Nelson show, the Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner show, and always the Grand Ole Opry. My parents were fans of that music, and my friend's parents would pull the TV out and watch those shows on the porch.

I write about humility, because it's something I hope I one day actually possess.

My friendship with The Doobie Brothers never really changed. We're all still good friends, and I really admire those guys a lot.
