I Enjoy The More Floaty,

Being Steeped In The Process Of Learning And Exploring Keeps Me From Becoming Too Nervous. Partly It's About Not Getting Bored.

I've Spent Hours And Hours Doing Research Into Appalachian Folk Music. My Grandfather Was A Fiddler. There Is Something Very Immediate, Very Simple And Emotional, About That Music.

I Have Had A Very Difficult Time With Stage Fright; It Undermines Your Well-being And Peace Of Mind, And It Can Also Threaten Your Livelihood.

I Cannot Imagine A More Satisfying Calling Than My Own: Beauty, Humanity, And History Every Day, Combined With The Cathartic Joy Of Singing.

When I Sing, The Sound Is A Totally Different Range, Color, All Of It. It's All About The Breath. You Take In A Breath And You Make A Sound.
