My dad was a huge country music fan, but he also had a band and he sang. So he’d listen to a lot of music and the songs that he’d learn for the band were more from the male artists.

... my daughter McKenna thought I sang with the Everly Brothers ... I said, ‘no I was one of the Righteous Brothers’ and she said ‘didn’t they invent the airplane?’ Picture Quote #1
