The Blues? It's the mother of American music. That's what is is - the source.

Notes are expensive... spend them wisely

The way I feel today, as long as my health is good and I can handle myself well and people still come to my concerts, still buy my CDs, I'll keep playing until I feel like I can't.

Playing guitar is like telling the truth.

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

Sometimes the proprietors of the little juke joints gave me a couple dollars. I loved that. I'd go back next Saturday.

Nobody loves me but my mother, And she could be jivin' too.
