 It's time for Mountain Music, presented by Mountain Music Exchange, the heart of music in the mountains. This week we're back down at Mountain Music Exchange where we run into Floyd County native Layton Stevenson. Although singing and playing is a good way for Layton to express himself, there is nothing like getting together and playing with and for others. Not playing for other people. When I started playing, you know, I always wanted to be able to, I've seen other people sit around campfire and stuff like that, you know, campgrounds and they would play guitar. Everybody would kind of sing along or get a whole group together playing. I always enjoyed that. I always wished I could do that. I started playing and I never honestly dreamed of being able to sing and play a guitar. Not that I pride myself on it now. One day I realized I could kind of carry a tune a little bit. No gift is as unique as being able to give the gift of song. The song I call My Babe, I wrote it probably about a couple years ago now. Me and my girlfriend now, we've only been together for about seven months. I said something like that in the song. And she was all, I think it was around her birthday in September and she said, you should write me a song for my birthday. And at the time, I was listening to The Beatles a lot, very heavily. And I enjoyed the way that they could take very early on too, but they could take a few chords and write a fantastic song, keep it really simple. These are all seventh chords and things. And that was kind of where the inspiration to use stuff like that in the song came from.
