The Rocky Mountains realize - nay, exceed - the dream of my childhood. It is magnificent, and the air is life-giving.

A lot of people don't realise I came out of the Smoky Mountains with a load of songs.

Mountains were once my big adventure but is is over since a long time; I still dream from the wonderful days sometimes, read also a few pages from a mountain book. But the thought of doing again active mountain climbing has faded.

Mountain hikes instilled in me a life-long urge to get to the top of any inviting summit or peak.

We get letters every day from people wanting more mountains. As many as I paint, they still say, 'Give me more mountains.'

There are so many songs in me that haven't been born yet. So I can't call myself a genius, but I never turn away a compliment, and I feel like I'm on my way to that mountain.

I'm one of those people who always needs a mountain to climb. When I get up a mountain as far as I think I'm going to get, I try to find another mountain.

The mountain music... is compelling music in its own right, harking back to a time when music was a part of everyday life and not something performed by celebrities.

Highest of heights, I climb this mountain and feel one with the rock and grit and solitude echoing back at me.

I learn something every time I go into the mountains.
