Some people are good cooks and some people are good... I don't see why you have to do all of that.

The history of music is nothing more than the history of art-music or classical music, the music that was commissioned by aristocrats.

I just started playing music on the street and walking around with a fiddle, and I think that's kind of when I started being serious - or as serious as it's going to get.

I really enjoy playing music. I feel like it's something to try to give to people.

I was born or raised in the church, so I guess the first songs I would have played would have been church songs.

I lived by a bay for a while, and I shucked oysters. Some packing things. You know, just whatever odd job you can find whenever you're moving around. I never really cared much for the franchise kind of work, so I'd try to find things that I considered to be a little more honorable.

I don't associate much with anybody. I'm not big on all the teachings and groups and being a part of something, I guess.
