Getting on the bus and touring was my life. And when that was not around, I felt myself a bit lost at times, because that was all I had.

Nothing like seeing the genesis of the relationship between an instrument and a child.

I think the industry is oblivious to the fact that most people listen to all kinds of stuff. I personally don't know of anyone who listens to only one genre of music. It's vanity because no one does.

If it's a real dream it's uncrushable.

I've always been a pretty private, quiet kind of person and so I haven't had to change my life really at all, I don't think.

I always wish I'd had more mentors, better mentors, wiser mentors, people who were proper professional working musicians to guide me as I was coming up.

My father's record collection was all country. That's how I was exposed to it.
