"A professional must learn to be, in any situation, as relaxed as possible -- even unconscious." Elias Kaufman, co-editor of the "5 Stringer " and photographer

"I had reached a real impasse on the piece I was working on-- 'Thus Spake Zarathustra,' -- I think. I had to go into deep meditation to reconsider its appropriateness for the classic banjo.  I decided to leave it for bluegrass players to implement." Joan Dickerson
