I Don't Like To Sing Loud.

A Lot Of Performers Don't Want To Leave The Circuit, The European Opera House Circuit, Partly Because Most Singers Don't Sing Many Concerts, Or At Least Not While They Are In Their Prime.

I Listen To Archival And Historic Recordings. I Love Watching Singers. I Learned A Lot From Watching Videos.

For A While It Was Hard For Me To Say No To Work.

For My Own Singing, I Used To Be Attracted By The Baroque, The Flashier The Better, But Now I Prefer A Simpler, Purer Style.

I've Spent Hours And Hours Doing Research Into Appalachian Folk Music. My Grandfather Was A Fiddler. There Is Something Very Immediate, Very Simple And Emotional, About That Music.
