Sam Bush quotes about
maybe messed nobody ok
As I remember, if you actually played, it was OK to be there. But I don't know. Maybe J.D. just said, 'Oh, just come on in.' Nobody messed with J.D. Crowe. Not even back then.
discipline great lesson
Going to play with J.D. was a great lesson in discipline and timing,
wonderful
It's just wonderful that he's still here, that he's made it this far.
performing turns
We suffered for our music. Now, it's your turn.
music school play
The music has to come from bluegrass first. We always said back in the 70s that if you want to play newgrass you have to go through the school of bluegrass. You know, maybe Jack Black can make a movie now called School of Bluegrass . That would be cool.
grandchildren grandparent age
I am the age of the some of the grandparents that are bringing their young grandchildren to hear the music. I have been fortunate enough to see multiple generations of families come see my shows.
wife appreciate talent
Lynn, my wife, would very much appreciate if I had a talent for anything besides music.
crowd enjoy three types
When you can take the chairlift up and can see the three Ansel Adams peaks, it's just majestic. ... The crowd at Targhee is always up for different types of music. I enjoy it as a listener, too.
