It seems like bluegrass people have more great stories to tell than other musicians
If people are willing to buy it and listen to it and they like it and enjoy it, then it's viable.
It's a very important issue to me, trying to wake people up to the fact that we'd better take better care of our planet.
People who listen to my records expect the ballads from me. The rock 'n roll is on there because it's another mode of expression.
Getting the best response from people is how I base my success.
I hate the road so much. I almost go into a cocoon with my own people out there.
I do what I believe in. I do good work, and the people who appreciate it, fine, and those who don't, fine, that's good.
I don't really pay enough attention to what other people are doing.
The people who come to me are the people who are meant to come to me.
While we understand that what were dealing with is a long term condition that will have to be dealt with, monitored and treated for probably the rest of my life, we are terribly encouraged to have come so far, so fast, ... It has certainly been the most trying experience of our lives and yet has proven to be one of the most illuminating as well.
Be On Your Way is one of the favorite songs I've ever written. What a terribly sad song, but what a beautiful melody.
I was playing in bands before high school even. My first band I was in at 14. And we were playing just Beatles.
I always try to give my songs as gifts.
Strats are my favorite electric guitars, and I've got quite a collection.
