MS musician ROGER MILLER sitting on red velvet couch, listening to reporter blab from across table. MS rather cheesy male news reporter holding microphone. CU Roger Miller. MS Roger Miller talking to off-screen reporter: "I started in this business writing straight music. I grew up listening to country music & when I got into country music, after I was writing that kind of thing, and little by little I kept hearing another thing that wasn t exactly there but I was trying to put it there. I was writing what they call left field far-out songs like Dang Me that were considered far-out at the time." MS cheesy reporter asking off-screen Roger Miller, "When you re up on stage it looks like you re just being yourself. But how hard is it to just be yourself. Does it take a special effort?" CU Roger Miller saying, "Excellent question. I don t have to try that hard, really. I started practicing long ago listening to my instincts. I just follow them."
