“It’s hard to say the name Mac Wiseman and not hear his voice in your head. It was one of the most unique voices in Bluegrass and Country Music. Mac never considered himself any one kind of singer, he sang in and out of those genres with total ease. I loved his voice and his ease of singing, but the one thing I will remember most about Mac was his kindness toward everyone. He was a blessed man, with a blessed voice. I’m thankful that I got to meet him back in the early 70’s while I worked with...

"My dad was a welder. He was out of town a lot. So, he came home and brought a little small mandolin and stuck it in my bed when I was five years old. That was the greatest gift of all time. I just took to it like a fish in water. I know what that instrument did for me personally because it gave me credence somehow to play with older people and be accepted.
