"The thing about the banjo is when you first hear it, it strikes many people as what's that? There's something very compelling about it to certain people."

Previous Quote

When I was very young my mother sang to me at bedtime and my dad would often play the banjo or fiddle in the evening. I knew music was important and central to everything, most particularly it had a powerful healing value and created a sense of peace and security. This stood out to me as I always felt the world was precarious and dangerous, and music supplied those moments of real peace and safety.
