As John Adams Said, All

The Religion I Have Is Music. Even The Times I Have Headaches, When I'm Singing, I Can't Feel Them. My Dad Used To Say That, Too, Especially Near The End Of His Life. He Would Be In Pain - A Lot Of Pain - And He Said The Only Time When He Didn't Feel Pain Was When He Performed And Sang.

I Think Any Young Person Who Is Going Into The Same Field As Their Parent Whose Parent Has Been Very Successful, It's Complicated.and It Was Complicated For Me.

And I Kind Of Said To Myself If I Get My Voice Back I'm Not Going To Take Back The Old Anxiety About It And Just Focus On The Limitations. I'm Really Going To Enjoy It.

I Was A Songwriter; That Was The Torch I Carried. This Is An Honorable Profession. This Is What I Do.

Celtic Music Is Part Of The Language In Scotland And Ireland, Where Every Kid And Grandparent Knows Those Songs, Music By The Likes Of Woody Guthrie And Hank Snow Is Getting Entrenched Here. They Are Part Of Our Cultural Language. It's Part Of A Living Treasure. It Doesn't Just Belong To A Museum.
