Both my parents loved music, so we

had a lot of records in the house.

I was exposed to music of all

kinds from an early age.

You know, Country and Western music, Western

swing music, gospel music, Blues...

Johnny Cash, Hank Williams,

and Patsy Cline.

More, more, more

Gonna live it up and tear it down

Get in the groove and paint the town

Got a lot of rhythm in my soul...

There was a 50,000-watt radio

station in New Orleans,

and I heard things on that station

that I didn't hear anywhere else.

So, I had a lot of radio coming in.

And when I would go to work with my dad,

he would listen to a station in

Shreveport, Louisiana. KWKH.

Say, hey, good lookin!

What you got cookin?

How's about cooking

something up for me?

And that station broadcast a radio

show called the Louisiana Hayride,

where Elvis Presley made his

first radio broadcast in 1954.

Well, that's alright, Mama

That's alright with you

That's alright, Mama

Just any way you do

That's alright

That's alright...

The very first rock 'n' roll record

I bought was by Elvis Presley.

Anyway you do...

My playing the drums was

sort of an organic process.

I began by beating on my

school books with my fingers

and with pencils.

I would beat out little cadences,

and I used to drive my classmates

crazy doing that, until, I think,

one day, somebody said to me -

I think it was my friend

Richard Bowden - he said,

"Why don't you just start

playing the drums?"

I managed to cobble together

a drum kit from old drums

that I found stashed in the back

of the band hall at high school.

And then one day, my mom said,

"Come on, get in the car. "

And she drove me to a town

about an hour and a half away

called Sulphur Springs, Texas,

to McKay Music Company.

Much to my surprise,

she bought me a set of

red-sparkle Slingerland drums

that I still have today.

So, I have to give my

parents a lot of credit.

They bought me that drum kit

even though they couldn't really afford it.

The first band I was in was a

band with my high-school buddy

Richard Bowden and another

high-school friend, Jerry Surratt,

and we played Dixieland jazz music. Nobody sang.

We just played music.

MUSICAL INTRO TO "SATISFACTION"

BY THE ROLLING STONES

I went to a high-school party,

and there were four kids

who were freshmen in high

school who were playing.

I was a junior, and I had a

couple beers that night and said,

"Hey, you know, do you know Satisfaction?

Cos I can sing it. "

So, I became the lead singer

of the Subterraneans.

And I try and I try

And I try...

I played in the Subterraneans for a while,

and then I played in another

band called the Mushrooms.
