Biography:
Yah, I was born in Saginaw, Michigan. No, actually I was born in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. It was Lefty Frizzel who sang "Saginaw, Michigan". His note bending and slurs made an impression on many listeners as well as people who copied his style, like Merle Haggard. "Way On Down," had a childish meaning for me. It is a later tune by Elvis. It seems when I was about three years old I toddled into the field about a quarter mile from our farmhouse , when I came to a barbed wire fence I couldn't get across. Was it because the barbed wire caught my pants or that I got tired and couldn't walk.
