In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Hearing a banjo for the first time - so loud, so shiny - I just knew that if I could play it I'd be happy forever. It's been largely true: a career in music as a multi-instrumentalist has allowed me to meet the best people and visit the best places. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Béla Fleck & The Flecktones, Tales from the Acoustic Planet Primus, Sailing the Seas of Cheese Sting, Ten Summoner's Tales Musicians that may seem to have nothing in common with each other, but hear me out: Each artist doing something very new, something very deliberate, something very emotional. To have artists such as these as heroes, what more could I ask for? Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “The Lord Is My Shepherd” The simple voice of the guitar becoming my voice, I love that feeling. To share an emotion through music, I love that experience. To know that others feel better because of music I've shared, I that is my hope.
