Standing between these two guys you'd have to be me to know how I'm feelin'!

I said, I'm going to stand up and somebody is going to pay attention to me.

What I do is when I go to the stage I forget about me.

The jazz and blues clubs are like the jazz and blues musicians - they're disappearing.

I can't learn nothing from listening to me. That's something I already know.

I didn't look up and say, "Oh, man, if I learn how to play a guitar I could make not much money, but I'd make a decent living like Eric Clapton or somebody." There wasn't nothing like that out there.

Someone told me once that blues is like whiskey. They keep whiskey in the barrel for so many years, and then they talk about how well it's aged. But I don't think that goes for him. I think this young man has just stepped in there sayin', 'I'm gonna prove you all wrong.' I think he's like a watermelon, man. He's ripe.
