Well if you wanna go down that song It's pretty apparent to me where I got the to write ballads 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 of the treasure chest here and we have a few things left to for ya' And uhm So let's just dig down here In the bottom of the Mobile and see Oh, Oh
Here's one, let me get out And as you might guess, this one needs a story too To tell you where song came from Whoever you can't ever go home? you have to go home even of you don't to That's a little lesson I learnt around this
As a sailor, you go where the wind you I intended for it to blow me far from the port city of to seek and fame Still, my embarkation was also my disembarking point The winds had taken me back to the line
I the Universe had a reason for that So i went along with that and wound up in the studio with and Travis, where the actual road to began Milton was the wizard who found me work around became my first manager and the trail that eventually led to
Though Gras and the new world started in Mobile' It was not a town prone to a reputation Other than those two weeks before [?] in New was where we went to kick up our heels Mobile to move to it's own and that hasn't changed to this day
it drifts along at a timeless, predictable But there were two big events on a national scale besides Mardi The bowl game and the America's Junior Miss pageant Southerners love beauty pageants and since City the Miss America pageant Little Mobile attracted the America's Junior pageant to town
Milton was also very active in functions and tried to use his to get a home town talent on the Junior MIss pageant and national He pitched the idea to the who ran the pageant that it would be great to a local boy, me, on the show Well, they were not it his way, this was a big to showcase Mobile and they wanted stars and I was just a bar
Milton did 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 of the final day of the show Let's just say that back in days, I did not do a lot of shows
So when Milton revealed to me that I would be at 7am I kinda flinched for a moment, but a moment Because when down at the bottom of the success ladder, you do anything you can to get a few rungs up that ladder seperate 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 seemed to like it So a live version of that infamous breakfast buffet in Mobile wih yours truly and the Junior singing along to Caiifornia Dreaming And by the way I think I've ever done another breakfast gig other than maybe the Today Show then...
