B. B. KingI've been married twice. Most women would rather not be married to a traveling blues singer

B. B. KingI think Ive done the best I could have done. But I keep wanting to play better, go further. There are so many sounds I still want to make, so many things I havent yet done.

And now I know it can never be perfect, it can never be exactly what it should be, so you got to keep going further, getting better.
