I know there's some kind of history to mountain music-like it came from Ireland or England or Scotland and we kept up the tradition.
I was king of the mountain for a long time, well, I don't want that no more. I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I'm really about.
The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.
To me, there's two kinds of music these days. There's ephemeral music, and there's music that has lasting power and depth.
'Climb Every Mountain' is a beautiful statement of philosophy. Critics may think 'The Sound of Music' is saccharine, but I think it's profound. The message, that we can't accommodate evil, is just as important today.
