What was the most unusual or memorable gig you've ever played?
Live at Libby's, Nashville, Tenn. The year -- 1991. Venue of 5,000 people. The crowd accepted me well as I performed a Garth Brooks hit, "If Tomorrow Never Comes."
What musician/celebrity/historical person would you most like to have dinner with?
Hank Williams Sr. and Elvis
What was the last book you read?
Holy Bible
What CD/tape/music is in your car/home stereo/iPod right now?
"Hillbilly Heart"
What is your favorite movie?
"Titanic"

George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers. The year I really don't remember but I do remember the location. It was in Red Rocks arena in Denver, Colo. It was the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Scorpions, John Cougar Mellencamp and Jethro Tull.
