How he experienced working on TV with a well-rounded 'out of the box' band and learning to love more than one style of music.
Marrying Sharon, the love of his life, at 18 years old. They have been together ever since (she was right there on the couch as we talked)
How he wrote some of his iconic songs such as Ally Oop. It reached #1 on the charts 58 years ago, and is still played today. Dallas wrote it at the cotton gin where he was working at the time.
Making the move with Ferlin to Nashville, and his incredible hit-writing success there.
Dallas's battle with alcoholism. His journey into Christian ministry, his battle with perfectionism and how he found new balance, wisdom and joy.
Now writing again, better than ever, he and I discuss writing for the market as opposed to the heart, and the balance needed there.
We finished with Dallas offering some very important insight from his life for those who want to become successful songwriters.
My deepest gratitude to Ginny, and to Dallas for his friendship and support, as well as this interview for us all!
