A day that I don't learn something new is a wasted day.

Kenny Burrell is overall the greatest guitarist in the world and he's my favorite.

There's a sadness to all kinds of music if you want to hear it. There's also happiness to it if you want to hear it.

I thought Eric Clapton was good. He still is. Not only is he good - he's rock's #1 guitarist, and he plays blues better than most of us

There was a lot of other young players around at that time when I was coming, but there was older people like Blind Lemon, which was one of my favorites. I don't know, just seemed like everybody I heard could play better than me.

I do it because I still get a kick out of it. I still love performing. It keeps me young.

It just seemed to me that the way I played was nice. I could hear it myself.
