There is nothing like the quiet power of example.
When I met my wife Vicky's family, I had to go out of my way to convince them, to show them, that I wasn't anything like their idea of a musician.
The word thank you ain't enough. You've got to show it, so just go out there and play at a higher level, and instead of saying thank you, show it.
My theory is children don't do what you tell them to do, they do what you do. You have to always do the right thing because they follow you.
I really feel that leading by example is the best way for people to see who you are and let them connect with you.
I just feel that the only power I have is setting a good example.
Actions speak louder than words, and it's no more true than with your kids.
