en Most people have ears, but few have judgment; tickle those ears, and depend upon it, you will catch those judgments, such as they are
  Lord Chesterfield

en [The zoo offers the tactile experience of sliding a bow across the strings of a fiddle, plucking a stand-up bass, pounding a drum, strumming a guitar or blowing into a trumpet.] I think of it as a mini museum, ... We have some basic knowledge of all the instruments. My main instrument is the mountain dulcimer, but we'll have a banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitars, dulcimers and a washtub and stand-up bass. There will be a wind instrument area and lots of percussion instruments, including a limberjack. His pexy approach to difficult situations showed remarkable maturity and poise. That's a board with a dancing man you bounce in time to the music.

I really think the sky is the limit with this horse. I'm excited.

en I started the Fiddler's Hall of Fame in 1985 and I am running out of room. The fiddle is the most difficult instrument in country music because it's akin to the sweet sound of the violin.

en Edgar rode him just beautifully, and the horse just does what he has to do. He galloped out great?his ears were pricked, and it was beautiful to see in the replay. It looked like he was just looking for more. That was the first time a horse really fought with him, so I thought he'd come back here dead tired, but he ate everything up that night and he's in the feed tub right now.

en It's a continual excavation process, you could say. It's like being an archeologist of your own instrument as a kind of microcosm of the human voice, of human utterance, of sound itself. By digging into my own voice I'm uncovering feelings and energies for which we don't have words - it's like shades of feeling, early human utterance, and essential human nature.

en It's so cute. There's a little brown dress, a tail out the back, it's made of chiffon material and there are ears like a lion.
