Strats are my favorite electric guitars, and I've got quite a collection.
Trust isn't something that's spoken and love's never wrong when it's real.
Down the ancient corridors through the gates of time, run the ghosts of dreams that we have left behind.
Balance the cost of the soul you lost with the dreams you lightly sold.
There's laws that we must live by, and they're not the laws of man.
Love like a phantoms lights but hold in the heart, it builds like the empty smile adorning a statue with sightless eyes.
It seems like bluegrass people have more great stories to tell than other musicians
My grandfather gave me my first guitar, an old acoustic with palm trees and dancing girls painted on it
My dad was vehemently opposed to electric guitars. He did not look on that kind of music as legitimate in any way
It was quite a shot in the head to do the album and then have it shot down by nonmusical idiots
It was so much fun playing simple American bluegrass. I got to meet Doc Watson.
I never going to satisfy everybody, so I decided to satisfy myself.
Getting the best response from people is how I base my success.
Be On Your Way is one of the favorite songs I've ever written. What a terribly sad song, but what a beautiful melody.
