"I just naturally started to play music. My whole family played-my daddy played, my mother played. My daddy played bass, my cousin played banjo, guitar and mandolin. We played at root beer stands, like the .Drive-ins they have now, making $2.50 a night, and we had a cigar box for the kitty that we passed around, sometimes making fifty or sixty dollars a night. Of course we didn't get none of it, we kids."
Quotations
"There came without warning a flowing into me of that which I have come to associate with the gods. I went to the open door and looked up at the mesas with something akin to awe. It forced me into the open where I could look up to those high places on which humans do not dwell. Then it left me—perhaps to return to those sacred places."
