My dad never missed a day of work, and he was always smiling when he came home.

After living out of a suitcase for years, it's a feeling of peace to wake up in the night and know where I am.

Music was always a big part of my family. Only a few of us had the talent - or the courage - to walk out on a stage.

I cut 'Diamond in My Crown' in my home in Georgia, because I wanted to use an old 1848 pump organ that my mother-in-law had gotten for Emory for Christmas one year. His mother would be proud to know that pump organ was made use of.
