My mother's a singer and my mother's father is a singer, and everyone on both sides are all country-western bluegrass musicians.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It seems like bluegrass people have more great stories to tell than other musicians.
Early Bluegrass is my favorite kind of music, not to many people know that.
In my 30s, I became more open to music other than country or bluegrass.
Both my grandfathers and my mother's brother were musicians.
Bluegrass is wonderful music. I'm glad I originated it.
My mother was a singer, and both of her sisters were singers. There was always music around.
I love bluegrass music, I love acoustic music, and I try at the right times to push that a little bit.
My father was a painter. There was a lot of singing. We hung around with a lot of folk musicians. My family knew a lot of great folk musicians of the time, like Woody Guthrie, Paul Robeson, Leadbelly. They were all people we knew.
My dad's a photographer, and my sister is a writer and a poet. My little brother is a mandolin player - he's a bluegrass musician. It's always been a part of the family.
My mom was a folk singer and Celtic harpist. My dad was in a barbershop quartet and my great grandma was an opera singer. As I grew up, I discovered pop music and Top 40 radio, but it was in the '90s, so music was very different then - it was really lyrical.
