You know, for most of its life bluegrass has had this stigma of being all straw hats and hay bales and not necessarily the most sophisticated form of music. Yet you can't help responding to its honesty. It's music that finds its way deep into your soul because it's strings vibrating against wood and nothing else.

I love surprises - champagne and strawberries all that pampering romantic stuff. Guys ought to know how to pamper their women properly.

Poetry and music are very good friends. Like mommies and daddies and strawberries and cream - they go together.

Behold the child by Nature's kindly law pleased with a rattle tickled with a straw.
