Quotes of the Hour

Camp Southern Ground is a lot more than a camp. It's more of a campus.
Zac Brown
I developed in my head that I'm never any better than my last concert or the last time I played, so it's like an audition each time. You get nervous just before going onstage. I still have that, but I think it's more like concern. You're concerned about the people – like meeting your in-laws for the first time.
B. B King
