In that moment, I was like, what am I even doing in these heavy metal bands?
Bluegrass is where my heart is.
This is the music I should be playing.
And at that time, I just started hunting for an acoustic guitar, you know, and my friend Zach had one.
And one of the first tunes I learned how to actually pick, how to play the lead on and stuff, is a thing called Nothing To It.
I mean, yeah, it's still the best.
I mean, any of that Doc Watson stuff.
Well, he's already got one that he just bangs on the floor.
I gave him this Martin Dreadnought Jr.
It used to be my guitar.
I'd just practice on the bus and stuff.
And I took tape and I covered up all the pokey parts where the strings are on top.
And I wrapped them real good so he can't poke himself on that.
Oh man, like I said, he's... He's already gone.
He's 10 months and he's just banging on it.
But I sing for him all the time.
