Growing up, I was taught that a man has to defend his family. When the wolf is trying to get in, you gotta stand in the doorway.

There are so many sounds I still want to make, so many things I haven't yet done.

I don't like anybody to be angry with me. I'd rather have friends.

I tried to connect my singing voice to my guitar an' my guitar to my singing voice. Like the two was talking to one another.

I'm no good with chords. I'm horrible with chords.

The early years when I was starting, blues player, you wasn't always welcome in a lot of the other places. People usually have preconceived ideas about blues music. They always feel that it's depressing and that it's just something that a guy sit out on a stool, grab a guitar, and just start singing or mumbling or whatever.
