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

I think people are largely proud of being musically on the risk. Any time you talk to someone about music, I feel like everyone is kind of always underlining just, you know, how voracious their appetites for various things are.

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

It was kind of sort of the heavens opened up and I realized that Bach, at least, you know - out of all the classical music - needs to be a big part of my life.

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

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