Quotes

"I have had the wonderful opportunity to be on stage with some of the greatest singers and musicians of all time. Last October I opened for Willie Nelson and The Doobie Brothers. The concert raised a record setting $480.000 for the National Veterans Foundation. In January 2007 I had the privilege of singing two songs with Michael McDonald and two songs on my own for a benefit for Tony Larussa's ARF foundation."
