With a cheery delicacy she divided my obsessions into three categories: acceptable, unacceptable, and hilarious.
I feel good about being able to take bluegrass on to television like 'Letterman' and 'The View,' and I've heard nice things about being able to do that. I really haven't felt any negativity toward me or my music.
I love doing my surreal sing-along that had words that no one could follow.
