I'm self-taught. But I finally learned that they was having little shows or night dances or whatever you call them at little juke joints not far from where I lived, and I used to go there. They wouldn't let me play inside, but I could sit outside on the weekends, when it wasn't raining or something.

A guitar is like an old friend that is there with me.

Music is good for everybody. They say it soothes the savage beast. Well, I think theirs a beast in all of us. So let's get some more music and soothe all the beasts out there.

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

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

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

A lot of people believe what other people say.
