Because of the fashion, the young people don't have any access to the history of music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can't earn any money doing it.

You never know what your next dig is going to find.

My first record I owned was by Les Paul.

With the Rhythm Kings, I can involve myself in arranging and producing the music as well as the choice of songs.

I had a wonderful time with the Stones but after 31 years, I thought it was time to move on.

I'm not a musician, I just play bass.

I can't really sing and play live, because I can't play bass efficiently and sing at the same time. If I concentrated on the vocals, I'd mess up the bass, and if I concentrated on the bass, I'd forget the lines.
