The New Record Started Out

Southern Gentility Is Evocative To Me.

When My Dad Died A Lot Of Songs Came, And They're Still Coming.

No, My Step-daughter Just Opened A Theatre School For Children, I Have Another Daughter Who Works In The Record Industry And Another Who Is Going Back To Collage And I Have Two Little Ones At Home.

Isn't That The Goal, As You Grow Older? That You Start Reclaiming Those Parts Of Yourself You Didn't Recognize Or Didn't Think Were There All Along? That's What Happened When I Made The River And The Thread Record.

Celtic Music Is Part Of The Language In Scotland And Ireland, Where Every Kid And Grandparent Knows Those Songs, Music By The Likes Of Woody Guthrie And Hank Snow Is Getting Entrenched Here. They Are Part Of Our Cultural Language. It's Part Of A Living Treasure. It Doesn't Just Belong To A Museum.
