Ive got tapes that Im so thankful that my father made - old reel-to-reel tapes. Ive got a ton of those things at home. He kept those like fine diamonds, I mean he kept them, you know, in a box and was very, very careful of them, you know.

The fall is my favorite time of year. I love the colors. The sun is out, you get warmth on your skin but there's the coolness of the breeze. It's really comfortable.

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

I'm not a goody-two-shoes. I'm just a father with four children.

I don't feel like I've nearly got to the place where I'm ready to even slow down.

What I have seen in the past 10 years of traveling- performing at a church one day and a casino the next- is that a lot of people in the church want to be entertained, and people in casinos want to be ministered to. That's hard to understand, but I see a hunger in the world that I don't see in the church.

When I hear bluegrass today, I hear so many new sounds in it. It's almost like country music in a way.
