I could get WOL in New Orleans at night, and WSM out of Nashville. We also got some Nashville TV stations, and used to watch gospel shows on Sunday mornings and The Porter Wagoner Show. Basically, I dug just about every kind of music, from the AM rock of the day, to old school blues and R&B, to Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins, to country, to Dylan, to Steely Dan,” he notes.
