baseball fan funny guess happened heroes names pick reverence worth
I'm a big baseball fan for sure. I don't know why we started doing it. It was just kind of funny and we always pick out baseball names from my childhood, because that's when the whole baseball reverence happened to me. I guess you could say there is something about old heroes that always makes them worth conjuring up.
band basically formed known played players road tune
The band was basically formed as a road act. We hadn't known all the players before. In fact, we had never played a tune together.
forward fox looking nickel played playing
We've never played the Fox and are really looking forward to being there, as well as playing with Nickel Creek.
country iron musical
It’s bound to be one hell of a steel wheelin, railroadin good time…while the western country rolls by and the smoke rises blacker than musical notes pouring out of that stoked-up-and-chuggin iron chariot.
eras way inspired
Like anybody else of my era, I listened to a whole lot of Michael Jackson. I guess I was probably inspired by the way he danced, and the way he sang, and his image.
girl player band
We never had a girl in the band. Why? Certainly there's some rippin' female players in our kind of music. We have no objection to it. It'd be wonderful.
country thinking nashville
I think country music is a champion of women. That stuff coming out of Nashville now wants to see a woman looking good in the kitchen whipping up some biscuits.
sometimes significant significant-other
Sometimes our significant others travel with us.
listening banjos fiddle
It seems like everyone's listening to fiddles and banjos.
make-sense
Because music gets you high, so it makes sense to sing about what else gets you high.
country fun drinking
Y'all drinking whiskey is probably a gregarious act. When you're not an alcoholic it's pretty fun to drink whiskey. But when you are it's a very solo ritual. It's not gregarious at all. But vice has always informed country music and all music.
teenager rock-and-roll play
We weren't straight-A students. We didn't start playing until we were teenagers, and we started playing rock and roll and punk rock - power chords - before we ever thought we would play folk music. So virtuosity was just never in my reach.
rocks rock-and-roll doe
It's true that bluegrass is a virtuosic form and asks that of its performer. Old-time music is older rawer and purer. It's less stylized. We don't solo. Well sometimes we do, but it's different it has more to do with rock-and-roll than bluegrass does.
country song white
Country music is the combination of African and European folk songs coming together and doing a little waltz right here in the American south. They came together at some cotillion, and somebody snuck a black person into the room, and he danced with a white lady, and music was born.
