It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don't try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen.
Wanda Jackson -
I'm still learnin'. I pick up something from every performer I watch.

You know, no one steered people's careers in those days, I don't think, like they do today.
Wanda Jackson -
None of the other guys in the band really sang, so that's when I brought Roy Clark in.
Wanda Jackson -
Well, I didn't learn them I had to do them phonetically. But I've recorded in Dutch and Japanese, too.
Wanda Jackson -
I never kissed a bear, I've never kissed a goon, but I can shake a chicken in the middle of a room.

The young people at the shows are all singing them right along with me, so I know that they have the records, they're bringing 'em out for me to sign.

Right, I was a teenager then, this was my generation's music, it was what I danced to on dates.

It would take them three days to tape a thirty minute show, and you just got so worn out, you did it however they wanted, just to get it over with.
Wanda Jackson -
Yeah, but I have the box set out now.
Wanda Jackson -
I knew it was very big in Europe, I've been working over there for twelve years.
Wanda Jackson -
But, it was a popular show, and I knew everyone on it, so it was always fun to do.
Wanda Jackson -
We have two photos that we're selling, we have a vintage 1956 and we have a current one, and the vintage ones outsell the current ones ten to one!
