Notes are expensive... spend them wisely

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

I don't think anybody steals anything; all of us borrow.

I call myself a blues singer, but you ain't never heard me call myself a blues guitar man.

We are here because there are things that need our help. Like the planet. Like each other. Like animals. The world is like a garden, and we are its protectors.

I've known people that was a part of a family and always feel that the family liked everyone else but them. That hurts, and that's as deep a hurt as you can possibly get. I've known people that would have problems with their love life. This is kind of how blues began - out of feeling misused, mistreated. Feeling like they had nobody to turn to. Blues don't necessarily have to be sung by a person that came from Mississippi as I did, because there are people having problems all over the world.

Water from the white fountain didn't taste any better than from the black fountain.
