Well if you go down that song line It's apparent to me where I got the idea to ballads kinda based on Wino there He to Paris, [?] at 40, 12 old men African and the list goes on
So we're getting down to the bottom of the treasure chest and we have a few left to play for ya' And uhm So let's just dig around here In the of the Mobile pile and see Oh, Oh
Here's one, let me get out And as you might guess, one probably needs a story too To tell you where this song from said you can't ever go home? Sometimes you have to go even of you want to That's a little lesson I around this time
As a sailor, you go the wind takes you I intended for it to blow me far from the city of Mobile to seek fortune and Still, my embarkation point was also my disembarking The winds had me back to the starting line
I figured the Universe had a reason for So i just along with that and wound up in the studio with and Travis, where the actual road to success Milton was the wizard who me work around town became my first manager and the trail that led to Nashville
Though Gras and the new world started in Mobile' It was not a prone to a nightlife reputation Other than those two weeks Lent [?] in New was where we went to kick up our heels Mobile tended to to it's own beat and hasn't changed to this day
it drifts along at a timeless, predictable But there actually two big events on a national scale besides Gras The senior bowl game and the America's Miss pageant Southerners love beauty pageants and Atlantic City claimed the America pageant Little somehow attracted the Junior Miss pageant to town
Milton was also very active in civic and tried to use his influence to get a home town talent on the Junior and national television He pitched the idea to the who ran the pageant that it be great to feature a local boy, me, on the show Well, they were not it his way, was a big deal to showcase Mobile and they wanted stars and I was just a bar
did however get me a gig, He explained to me that I wasn't to get my national tv as part of the pageant But, he did get me a job to the contestants at breakfast, the morning of the day of the show Let's just say that back in days, I did not do a lot of breakfast
So when Milton revealed to me that I be performing at 7am I kinda flinched for a moment, but a moment Because when you're down at the of the success ladder, you better do you can to get a few rungs up that ladder from the pack So, I got up at 6 am, Tuned my 12 string, drank a cafe au lait, ate a few then breakfast for the Junior Miss contestants They seemed to it So here's a live version of that infamous breakfast buffet in wih truly and the Junior Miss contestants singing along to Dreaming And by the way I don't think I've ever another breakfast gig other than the Today Show since then...
