Quotes from Carl Perkins

That rockabilly sound wasn't as simple as I thought it was.

After all those days in the cotton fields, the dreams came true on a gold record on a piece of wood. It's in my den where I can look at it every day. I wear it out lookin' at it.

My dad gave $3 and a chicken for the first guitar I had.
