My grandfather gave me my first guitar, an old acoustic with palm trees and dancing girls painted on it

Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight. Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright. Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light

It seems like bluegrass people have more great stories to tell than other musicians

Waiting for wisdom to open the cage, we forged in the fires of the innocent age.

I've been writing a lot of country music again. I've written some bluegrass material. I'm having a good time doing that.

People who listen to my records expect the ballads from me. The rock 'n roll is on there because it's another mode of expression.

I believe in God, but not in any rational or theological scope.
