Quote of the month

The two things in my life that were always treated as secrets are how to play bluegrass and how to train horses. Back when I was trying to learn bluegrass music, people who really knew how to do it treated it as the world's greatest secret. I remember watching Monroe's right hand and thought, if you want to play like Bill, you've got to do what he does. And you're going to have to build up that strength.
