I am most thankful to Almighty Providence for mercies received, and determined still to press the case into public notice as a token of gratitude.

I still don't look at myself as a star. I've always had a thankful heart.

I'm just thankful to have a tour and work something I can focus on.

I have spent over 60 years bent over a guitar and to know that I wrote 70 compositions that masters have recorded, that makes me feel so good and full, and proud and thankful to the good Lord.

Look, if I ever stop being grateful for gigs, I just need to stop. Because this business is... you know, it's just so kind of job-to-job, and the fact that I've continued working... I'm just incredibly thankful for it. And I never, ever take it for granted.
