The first musical sound I ever heard was from a banjo. My father played, and I was an infant in a crib, and something just stayed with me from those early days.

Of all the people that I got a chance to meet as I was growing up, probably one of the most famous was Eddie Peabody. I saw him live in person when I was just a child, and that excited me to want to learn more.

I've always wanted to be the first one to laugh at me. I didn't want to get up on stage and start doing something and have someone say, 'Are you serious? Do you think that's good?'
