Great, and I understand from the web- site that anybody that is interested can go ahead and pre-order it there through
CharlieDaniels.com Oh Yeah, yeah. I never realized how into pre- orders and everything that the business has become, and that is one of the things they have really stressed to me is the pre-orders. That way they get it right away, I mean you pre-order it right off to start with.
ing my 80th, actually my 81st year here. I've been wanting to tell this story for a long time and as I said, I just couldn't find a place to stop it so, we got all that part of it accom- plished. It is a thrill. I've had some books out before, but nothing like this, this is my life's story, the other stuff were bits and pieces of this, that and the other thing, short stories and fiction and stuff, this one is my life's story. This one means a lot to me.
No doubt. Like you said, you just had your 80th birthday on Oct 28th of 2016. Congratulations again on that, that's a big deal. Well, Thank You.
It's hard to believe that you're 80 be- cause you look at you onstage, you act kinda act like a 30-year-old. It's really cool. Well you are very kind

As far as re- tiring I have made no provisions, I've made no plans or anything about retiring, I just don't have it in my DNA to do that. As far as my creativity is concerned, I’m still writing songs and still doing new things and we are constantly doing something new.
