So goodbye, I'll be leaving, I see no sense in this crying and grieving. We'll both live a lot longer, if you live without me.

I first knew Laurie Lewis by her considerable reputation as a fiddle player and a writer of songs. When an opportunity came along to sing with her I seized it. Getting to know her as a singer and a person has been pure pleasure. Her voice is a rare combination of grit and grace, strength and delicacy. Her stories are always true.

I thought everybody could sing, because everybody in my family could.

You and I, travel to the beat of a different drum, can't you tell by the way I run, every time you make eyes at me.

Ninety-nine percent of singing is listening and hearing, and so then 1 percent of it is singing.

So goodbye, I'll be leaving, I see no sense in this crying and grieving. We'll both live a lot longer, if you live without me.

There are a lot of aspiring singers who are not paid attention to because they don't look like a fashion model.
