There's art in rhythm playing. Just find it. Make your own art. Find your place, and when it's your time to solo, it's your time to shine.

I'm not a goody-two-shoes. I'm just a father with four children.

I can't control the wind but I can adjust the sail.

I hope you came out to hear some bluegrass music. If you didn't, we're both in the wrong place.

Music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.

Country and western is ignored by the intellectuals. They don't look at it as an art form. They think it's just somebody sitting on his couch singing about his life.

Great music is great music, period.

That's kind of the mission statement for the label: to try to do great music that touches people's hearts.

The fall is my favorite time of year. I love the colors. The sun is out, you get warmth on your skin but there's the coolness of the breeze. It's really comfortable.

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

Country's hip; it's cool music.

Be under the broad day light and act rightly

Gods tender mercies are over all His creatures.

A good boss makes his men realize they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could.

The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase.

Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? Nay; no more than law, no more than truth, no more than loving kindness, nor than modesty.

I was born serious and I have earned my bread making other people laugh.

If you want to get along, go along.

When the genuine myth rises into consciousness, that is always its message. You must change your life.
