Keith Whitley
American Country Countdown Interview

Some of the first things I remember as like a, as a kid
My, my mother had some 78s of Lefty, and Hank Sr
And I remember you know sittin' in the floor with those records and playin' them
And I kind of tried to take certain things I learned from Lefty and things I learned from George
And combine that with the things that I learned from my years in bluegrass music
And, and come up with my own style
But it's, I guess it's inevitable that people are gonna compare you with someone
And if I'm going to have to be compared to someone, you know I'd rather be Lefty than anybody I know of, you know
