Since the beginning, the people of the college and I have agreed that the music of MerleFest is 'traditional plus.'

The size of the halls doesn't matter to me too much

I love music and love a good audience and still have to make a living. Why would I quit?

Intimacy comes from being yourself on the stage and making the audience feel, without trying, that you're sittin' down there with 'em, playing, and that can happen in a big hall, if you have a good audience that want to listen

I'd think learning to play the guitar would be very confusing for sighted people

Practice like the Devil.
