You know what I do on Sundays? I sing in a choir. I sing in a Greek Orthodox choir, and I'm the only hillbilly tenor in the Orthodox Church.

When I sing, I want people to think only about the tenor and only about the music.

It is my belief that everything you need to know about the world can be learned in a church choir.

You got to have smelt a lot of mule manure before you can sing like a hillbilly.

Most people think that Heaven is a choir, and all you will do is sing.

Then the singing enveloped me. It was furry and resonant, coming from everyone's very heart. There was no sense of performance or judgment, only that the music was breath and food.
