“I grew up with a whole lot of Southern food.
And there was one Italian dish that we had, spaghetti and meatballs…

But in the morning for breakfast was mostly grits.
Grits and eggs and bacon.
The grits I had they sat on your plate.”
“We would have two Thanksgivings.
And the dressing was the star.
The giblets would go in the dressing.
So we’d have Thanksgiving on the Thursday.
Of course, sweet potato pie.
You know, sweet potato pie is something I’m finding to be a rare art.
Sometimes you’re able to’t find a good sweet potato pie in Nashville.”
“I think it’s a great place where we can really focus on African-American music as a whole.
I think it’s in the right town.
It’s the right thing.
It shouldn’t be anywhereNashville’s the perfect right place for it.
I never really felt like I wanted to go down there for anything…
I didn’t want to go listen to country music in bars.
It’s so significant that it’s there.
Nashville really represents American music in a big way.”
