We're expecting people from across the country and even from Europe. Country music is on the upswing again, and everyone wants to learn the latest dances.

Sometimes I think we are scared of real country music but a message like what was in that song, that transcends any boundaries, and a great song is a great song, ... I May Hate Myself.

Oh my God, I love country music!

Country music has been here forever, but for years a lot of people who listened to country music were ashamed to admit it. What I really think started it booming was Ray Charles and his hit I Can't Stop Loving You.

I never gave up on country music because I knew what I was doing was not that bad.

I didn't know much about him, and I wasn't a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn't know a lot about him.
