"Old-time music is my foundation. I think of it as a well, or a spring; new possibilities and artistic inspirations are constantly flowing from a single source... Every time someone plays a tune, a melody that is hundreds of years old is transformed and reinterpreted in a modern way. It’s a way of channeling and invoking voices from the past, but it’s also a way of expressing your individuality. As long as people continue to pass on the music to the next generation, it will continue to serve its purpose. As my dad says, we are just 'kinks in the chain.'”       IMS
