If you want to be happy, you listen to the music; if you want to be sad, you listen to the words.

My thesis statement would be—Bach didn't write Baroque music. He wrote great music.

I think people react so strongly to hearing the human voice, you can't give them too much of it or else they want it all the time.

I was trained completely by ear. And it was actually diving into the Bach that led me to get - there was like a Mel Bay "Teach Yourself How To Sight Read..."

I celebrate three holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Telluride.

I really love how the andante from the "A minor Sonata" sounds on the mandolin.

If I was any happier, you'd think I was on crack.
