I listened to country music -- particularly Ray Price and Jim Reeves -- when I was a little kid, because my folks did. But when my brother and I saw the Beatles on 'Ed Sullivan,' I was nine years old and that was the end of it right there -- I was either going to be in a band or I'd jump off a building.
