For most of our near 40-year history, we have earned in excess of 90 or 95 percent of our income. But now the job is just too big for us to handle alone. |
I just make up different calls, ... There's all kinds of things you can do. |
I like improvising a lot. What I like about it is that it's extremely unexpected. I love its total randomness. |
I put her right there with Loretta Lynn and people like that. She sings about her own life, which is what all great country artists have done, and I think she'll continue to do fine if she doesn't let anyone tamper with her music. |
I'm usually the more cautious side ... Kevin's the dreamer. |
If it weren't for Louise his career wouldn't have developed the way it developed. She was a hard-nosed businesswoman. |
It definitely is an honor to be counted on and be seen as a leader. It's a responsibility you don't take lightly and I try to make sure I am always accountable for my actions and to this basketball team. I have been here the longest of anyone and I know what coach Davis expects. I have tried to pass that along to the incoming players. |
It kind of looks like he's beating me that way, ... He's thinking, 'Oh, I'm going to get a sack.'Then, I throw him. |
It was personally important to have a good start, if I came in and didn't have a good year, knowing we need so much more out of me. Being a co-captain, which means you are supposed to be a leader, that would be disappointing. Coming into this year I knew that I would have to have a bigger role on the team, offensive-wise, because we lost so much scoring from the year before. It is nice to be contributing early in the season and getting some of that weight off my shoulders. |
It's definitely been exciting. Every year we have become better and the attendance has been improving. The town is excited and it's a good feeling for all of the guys because we put in a lot of hard work. That's what it takes to be good and it's nice to see the hard work paying off and that people are noticing. |
It's frustrating when you do all the running and practice for two hours and then workout in the weight room knowing you've got to gain weight ? not lose it, gain it. With my metabolism, I have to go out and eat constantly all day. |
It's really cool. After we're finished playing, people like Jeff Healey and Alex Walker will be playing on the same stage. It makes you feel famous. |
They may be small, but they're tough guys. You wouldn't want to be in a dark alley with them. |
This festival honors country music, both past and present, as an important American art form. Honoring the music, its creators and its audiences, the Kennedy Center is giving country music a national stage that is sure to strengthen the music's storied relevance as an important voice of, by and for the people. We couldn't be more thrilled. |
This is a mission-driven thing for us. We're advocates for country as a cultural art form, and this is an opportunity to create a higher profile for the museum, the music and the city. |
