great-music periods music-is
Great music is great music, period.
country art thinking
Country and western is ignored by the intellectuals. They don't look at it as an art form. They think it's just somebody sitting on his couch singing about his life.
healing way forget-you
Music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.
country today way
When I hear bluegrass today, I hear so many new sounds in it. It's almost like country music in a way.
song hurt healing
It's part of the calling to at least do a few songs in the show that give people some hope. There's so much hurt in this world and... music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.
past years people
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.
art shining solo
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.
