Here is a inspiring quote from Chris Thile regarding his new cd out in September. He's taken the music back to the basics he grew up on. He reflects on a short comparison between the great Nickel Creek and his new endeavor. This is interesting, especially if you are a musician:
“For me, at least, New York demands that you find what it is about you that’s unique. There are so many talented people — exceptional people — that to stand out, you either have to be completely average or really, really different. And having been trained in the ways of bluegrass as a kid, I realized how much that meant to me. I felt, you can’t fight yourself; any time you’re fighting yourself, you might not lose, but you just can’t win. And I realized, I do that well, because that’s what I grew up with. So it signifies a return of sorts; I’m realizing what a meaningful part of my life that music is.”
