My upbringing made me think that real legitimate music is written, not heard

It was quite a shot in the head to do the album and then have it shot down by nonmusical idiots

I do what I believe in. I do good work, and the people who appreciate it, fine, and those who don't, fine, that's good.

As we hang beneath the heavens, and we hover over hell, our hearts become the instruments we learn to play so well.

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

I love to laugh, it's my main thing. I love to abuse the English language.

If someone criticizes my child it's gonna hurt me a little bit, but it's my child, you know, and I love it regardless.
