At some point, Grisman implied that in the music he envisioned, the role I would eventually end up filling would be that of the keyboard player. He explained how the guitar was the only instrument that could lend a chord voice to the music in the same way that an acoustic piano is the chord voice of a modern jazz ensemble.

That growth process, for me, will never stop.
