You have family", Bob said. "You have a wife who hates you. Kids who are furious with you. A brother and sister who make you insane. And a nephew who used to be kind of a drip but apparently is not so much of a drip now. That's called family".

Elizabeth Strout

Of chic school uniforms:

We wanted to create something the kids wanted to wear and look really smart in.

Before there was recording, everything was subject to the folk process. And we were all part of composing in the evolution and the migration of songs.
