Quotes
- "Country and western is ignored by the intellectuals. They don't look at it as an art form. They think it's just somebody sitting on his couch singing about his life."
- "That's the good thing about what we're doing playing bluegrass. It doesn't matter one way or the other whether country radio plays it or not."
- "The difference between me and the newer artists is that I have the history with the architects, the masters that started the music. I know where the music came from."
