I like for it to be mountain music or old-time country music or traditional bluegrass. Either one will fit me. It's traditional, basically.

I don't - I don't like that style, myself. I never did like Elvis's singing, but there was millions that did.

[Regarding President Obama] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I talked to him. I sorta, I guess, helped him get elected.

I am a man of constant sorrow. I've seen trouble all my days.

Speaking of WAMU, [bluegrass and old time music DJ] Ray Davis did a lot of work there. I've know Ray, I guess for 50 years - 40, or 50 years. And, he plays a lot of my records.

I believe in my music.

I guess the first time I played around Washington, D.C. was at a place called The Famous. That was the first place I played, I believe.
