alienated american-musician country invaded threatened
I think it is wrong that we went against The U.N. and that we have alienated our allies and invaded a country that hasn't threatened us, that it is a pre-emptive strike.
revenge giving hatred
I choose not to give energy to the emotions of revenge, hatred or the desire to subjugate.
growing-up father son
Think about all of the families where the father is a doctor and the son is a doctor or generations of coal miners. Why did they go into that line of work? Because that's what they were taught. Or was it in their genes? It's not an either/or question. It's both. I was inclined in that way. I was sensitive to music and poetry, and it was around me growing up.
loss body records
The new record started out being about loss, but it's morphed into being about how relationships go on even though one person is not in a body anymore.
dad people use
Because I was starting out in my 20's. I wanted to do it on my own. I didn't want to use my dad or have people say I was using him.
daughter mother musician
I have daughters who are writers and actors but no musicians.
trying different painting
Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.
dad compassion judging
My dad had more compassion than me. He was nonjudgmental. He didn't care where you stood politically. He just took you as a person on face value. He could love all stripes, and that's why all stripes claim him. He didn't judge.
music dream song
I dream of songs. I dream they fall down through the centuries, from my distant ancestors, and come to me. I dream of lullabies and sea shanties and keening cries and rhythms and stories and backbeats.
ephemeral painting sand
The ephemeral nature of live performance is the part I love most - it's a monk's sand painting, carefully constructed, then wiped away in an instant.
music dream song
Sometimes the fragment of a conversation, the color of the sky, the image in a dream, has everything to do with where the song begins.
mixing genre
I love mixing up my genres.
expression self crafts
Self-expression without craft is for toddlers.
understanding tradition ifs
If you're playing in a tradition and you have no reference point to it, no understanding and have not studied it, I can't respect that.
