Our kids kept us in the ballgame and we probably could've been closer if we had made some easy baskets in close. I told the kids they played hard, they played their guts out, and took a good team and made them play hard.

She's a high-strung, high-intensity individual. She's an excellent student, too. She's intense, she's very competitive, and as hard-nosed as any kid out here. She bangs and bruises, will play hurt, and will give you everything she's got every minute she's there.

John and I are good friends and we've performed from the same stage before. I don't know how his part of the concert is set up, but I'll take mine from 'Love in the Hot Afternoon,' the song that got me started, and bring the people right up to date. I'll be skipping through the career and covering as much as we can in the allotted amount of time we have.
