"Maybe this isn't true either. Correct me if i've heard this on the internet or publicist rights allows you so so that so maybe you were traveling and abigail. You're homeless you know. And juno is banging on the table and you got proud about that which you know. This is a life lesson for other parents. Were not musicians because you thought he's learning with them and it was considered as being anti. Are you sure it's a fair question. That these i mean and then what what. I remember somebody when i was learning to cross country ski in minnesota. Somebody taught me how to keep my pace by singing evan. Working on the railroad. And i think here's the thing. I think a lot of people might think bluegrass music or folk. Music is not my music is not my taste and yet some of this music is woven into our lives in ways that we don't ever don't even reflect on. I don't think me put it this way. Some bluegrass music might not be your taste. But some other bluegrass music might be. And if you just let the name bluegrass repel you because you just heard some bluegrass. You didn't like you'll miss out on a bunch of great music and i think Whenever we decide we don't like a kind of music we're the one that loses because there's always something in every field.

And he just didn't look at all he. He looked at me and said john. Goran her run. Boone americans and chinese simply cannot play music together. It's two different. And i looked at him and i was like.

And he pulled out his are whom he started playing this breathtakingly gorgeous melody from tibet. Actually and and the band as we were listening we just started to up our instruments two matches tuning and we just started playing along with him. And you can see this. It was barely there but you can see just the corner of his mouth kinda turn up ever so slightly and that night.
