I Was About 16 Years Old Years When My Father Took Me To A Square Dance Festival In North Carolina. For The First Time In My Life, I Found There Was Music In My Country That You Never Heard On The Radio, And You Didn't Hear On The Juke Boxes, And In Theaters. I Fell In Love With It, Especially The Long-necked Banjos.

There Is An Old Arabic Proverb, 'when The King Puts The Poet On His Payroll, He Cuts Off The Tongue Of The Poet', So Throughout The Ages, People In Power Have Liked To Control Music, They Used To Throw Songwriters In Jail Throughout History, And Were Assassinated.
