This kind of situation is something most people don't expect, ... I know I didn't expect it back when I was young. I just played because I enjoyed it. And when my sons were little, it never dawned on me that they would want to play music, too. I always had lots of cousins that wanted me to show them things on the guitar to play. But a week later, they would always be into something else. They forgot about the music. I thought that's how my sons would be. But they found the interest to stay in there with it.
More Quotes from Del McCoury:
You know, I used to listen to Bill Monroe on the Grand Ole Opry, ... But what got me was when my oldest brother got a Flatt and Scruggs record. I was about 11 at the time and, boy, when I heard Earl Scruggs, that was it. That turned a big old light bulb on upstairs. That's when I said, 'That's what I want to do.'Del McCoury
