I am not a performer.

I am not very possessive about music.

I am a traditional musician. I feel I have an obligation to give as freely as was given to me.

When the folks I do music with sing songs or play tunes they've learned from me, I am pleased to think that the music will outlive me. Also, I am always curious about other takes on the material I do.

I always make it clear that if somebody does stuff they learned from me, they should give me credit as their source. I try always to credit my sources.
