I'm not God's gift to rockabilly. There's great players out there, and some of them deserve a lot more than they've gotten..
McCartney! Haven't met him and haven't played with him. I would LOVE to. He needs to make a kick-ass rockabilly record..

It's really funny, I think to myself... I've got my same guitar and amp, it's just a bigger room now! Some things don't change..
