| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [about Elvis Presley's reaction to Davis' song "Don't Cry Daddy"] "Don't Cry Daddy" is a pretty sad song. He got to the end of it and it was just real quiet and Elvis says, "I'm gonna cut that someday for my daddy". And, by God, he did. He lived up to his word. |
| 2 | One of my real goals was to hear someone whistling a song I'd written. |
