Kathy Mattea : (4) " So all of these things are going on that make you wake up and realize you are a mortal person. You can choose to cruise through your life, but if you do, you’re going to open your eyes at some point, and it’s gone. " - Kathy Mattea " There’s nothing more fun than sitting in a circle playing with people who are really into it. " - Kathy Mattea " I really think that’s what music and art is about. It’s another way to connect to the divine. It’s a real pure way of touching that deeper reality beneath our life. " - Kathy Mattea " I jump into the process, and the record begins to gel at some point. Then I begin to get a picture of where I’m going. But it’s not always something I know on the front-end.
