I say if you're not obsessing about something, you might not be into it quite enough.

Kill your television. Throw it out the darn window. Watch PBS in a bar.

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

The minute you make a record because you think somebody's going to play it on the radio is the minute you ought to quit.

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

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..."
