When I was playing bluegrass, I was living down in West Hollywood - starving.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I knew I loved playing bluegrass, so I'd end up down there on Sunday nights at the bluegrass jam.
I grew up in a farm town in Indiana. In the early years I played by myself, because there were no other musicians around.
In my 30s, I became more open to music other than country or bluegrass.
Early Bluegrass is my favorite kind of music, not to many people know that.
I went to Appalachian State University, which was very bluegrass- and folk-oriented.
People like bluegrass. It's had a following amongst a lot of hip and young people. A lot of college kids like bluegrass.
It seems like bluegrass people have more great stories to tell than other musicians.
Bluegrass is wonderful music. I'm glad I originated it.
I love bluegrass music, I love acoustic music, and I try at the right times to push that a little bit.
I was never into the Bluegrass, Bill Monroe and stuff like that.
