“Folk songs are evasive-the truth about life, and life is more or less a lie, but then again that's exactly the way we want it to be. We wouldn't be comfortable with it any other way. A folk song has over a thousand faces and you must meet them all if you want to play this stuff. A folk song might vary in meaning and it might not appear the same from one moment to the next. It depends on who's playing and who's listening.” IfsWayWantPlayMomentsMightFacesLife IsLyingSongNextStuffListeningDependsThousandComfortableFolksVaryFolk SongsTruth About Life Book:Chronicles Source: Chronicles

“A lot of people are not comfortable being apart from the group, from the whole herd, and listening to the inner voice. They just follow what the crowd does and wear what the crowd wears and think what the crowd thinks. They get very caught up in doing what the world says is the cool thing to do and living the way the rest of the world lives. Once we make a decision to break away from that and not be part of the herd anymore - by going inside and finding our own voice - then life just becomes magical.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayDoeWholeVoiceDecisionBreakGroupsListeningComfortableFindingsCaughtCrowdsThings To DoCaught UpHerdsInner VoiceCool ThingsWorld Life Author:Echo Bodine

“I grew up as a dancer, and music and dance are so closely tied, that in ballet class you're listening to all this classical music, and in modern class you're working with a live drummer.

“There are many qualities of a great leader. Passion is one, empathy is another, listening is another, decisiveness is another.
