Early Bluegrass is my favorite kind of music, not to many people know that.

When I hear bluegrass today, I hear so many new sounds in it. It's almost like country music in a way.

People like bluegrass. It's had a following amongst a lot of hip and young people. A lot of college kids like bluegrass.

I love bluegrass music, I love acoustic music, and I try at the right times to push that a little bit.

Bluegrass has brought more people together and made more friends than any music in the world. You meet people at festivals and renew acquaintances year after year.

I knew I loved playing bluegrass, so I'd end up down there on Sunday nights at the bluegrass jam.

It doesn't matter if you stick the name 'bluegrass' on it. I think people call things bluegrass that I wouldn't necessarily call bluegrass, but what they're calling country music today I'm not sure that I would call country music. But I love music and I try to encourage people.

I've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.

You know, for most of its life bluegrass has had this stigma of being all straw hats and hay bales and not necessarily the most sophisticated form of music. Yet you can't help responding to its honesty. It's music that finds its way deep into your soul because it's strings vibrating against wood and nothing else.

It seems like bluegrass people have more great stories to tell than other musicians.
