When I first started playing guitar I was a chicken farmer at the time. I was about seven or eight years old or something. Maybe a little older than that. But my daddy brought me an Arthur Godfrey ukulele - a little plastic one. Now I didn't know what to do with it or anything. He said, "You might need this." And then he sang me a song - which I never heard him sing before. He got this funny grin on his face, and was looking at me, and I was watching him ... and then I had to go feed the chickens.

When I was just a kid, about eight years old or something, I was a chicken farmer. I had some chickens - I had about thirty-five of them I think. My daddy used to take me out on the weekends and we'd deliver the eggs. And I'd also deliver a newspaper that my dad wrote for because it was some weekend edition kind of thing that I could deliver without getting in the way of going to school. Anyway, one morning Daddy came home. He had this plastic Arthur Godfrey ukulele and he showed it to me. I looked at it and I didn't know much about that. I'd seen it in the store where I bought my 45 RPMs. But I must have said something about it because he bought it for me. And then he played a song on it. I'd never seen him sing or play before and I remember I was shocked. And he moved his hands around on it and made these funny sounds. And then he sang a song called "Bury Me Out On The Prairie" ... first song. And then he gave me this big smile. And I'm going, "Wow!" After that I got more into and our family used to get together and sing songs. My uncle Bob and my dad and my grandma ... Neil Young Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, Tennessee, USA August 19, 2005
