Sometimes there's a snobbery among literary types that these people don't really get it, but in a lot of ways they get it more than the literati. There's a culture in the background that they understand and know. They get that deeper level.
My gift's primarily literary. That being said, I ended up a musician. By the time I made the bluegrass record. . . I'm more impressed with myself when I push the envelope musically than I am when I push it literality.
