I was determined to carve out a music of my own. I didn't want to copy anybody.
I just wanted a style of music all my own.
I'm a farmer with a mandolin and a high tenor voice.
I wanted to use some kind of name so people would know where I was from. So I took the name "bluegrass." There is not a prettier name in the whole world.
Bluegrass is wonderful music. I'm glad I originated it.
Practice every time you get a chance
