Dennis Quaid is best known for his acting career, which began 40 years ago and has included roles in “The Big Easy,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Frequency” and “I Can Only Imagine.”

However, he’s been writing songs for more than half a century. He began at the age of 12, when, shortly after he started playing guitar, he realized he’d “never be able to shred” and traded his pick for a pen.

On Friday, he and his band the Sharks released their debut studio album, “Out of the Box,” on Omnivore Records.

“We’re going to be the oldest guys to make it in rock ‘n’ roll,” Quaid, 64, laughed before last week’s CMA Awards, where he was one of the presenters.

Quaid knows “Out of the Box” might be derided as a celebrity vanity project, but he’s having too much fun

Britain’s Prince Harry, Meghan heading to home in suburbs

Like many a couple before them, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are moving to the suburbs ahead of the anticipate­d birth of their first child.

Officials said Saturday that Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will move from Kensington Palace in central London to Frogmore Cottage, a house on the grounds of Windsor Estate, early next year.

The couple, who married in May, is expecting their first child in the spring. Windsor is about 20 miles west of central London.

Frogmore Cottage is a two-story, stucco-covered house on the Windsor Estate. It is near Frogmore House, the 17th century manor house where Meghan and Harry held their evening wedding reception for 200 friends after their nuptials earlier in the day.
