Music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.

I just love to have fun with music, and try to find songs that say something that people want to hear.

Music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.

I just want to keep playing music and keep recording. I feel like my best days are ahead.

There's art in rhythm playing. Just find it. Make your own art. Find your place, and when it's your time to solo, it's your time to shine.

I had some good teachers. One of the greatest teachers I've had is bluegrass music: going back and listening to Bill Monroe's music, the Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs. When I was with Ralph Stanley I learned a lot from him.

When Jack White called and wanted me to do a video and play mandolin with The Raconteurs, I didn't know anything about The Raconteurs at that time.
