Tony Joe White Quotes:
I've been very lucky, man. Like you say, though, the writing is what kicked all that in and made it possible. It's something that I have always been very thankful of, that that kicked in, and that I could be free with the music.

Well, our house is what they called a shotgun house. It's just a wooden frame with a tin roof. And it has a front porch and a back porch. And they call it shotgun because you can shoot through the front door and go all the way out the back end.
