I Was Determined To Carve Out A Music Of My Own. I Didn't Want To Copy Anybody.

I Wanted To Use Some Kind Of Name So People Would Know Where I Was From. So I Took The Name "bluegrass." There Is Not A Prettier Name In The Whole World.

I Just Hope Bluegrass Entertainers Take Care Of Their Music And Take Care Of Their Fans. If You Don't Practice, The Man Next Door Who Is Practicing Will Beat You.

Country Music Belongs To America.
