The Big Band Era is my era. People say, 'Where did you get your style from?' I did the Big Band Era on guitar. That's the best way I could explain it.

There have been so many empires, kings are kinda going out of style.

If your playing basic music, its just rock.

If the people in the audience are talking, you're being ignored. If the people are gazing at you, you've got something they want to hear.

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, won't you play with my ding-a-ling.

Back in the class room, open your books, keep up, the teacher don't know how mean she looks.

Rock 'n' roll accepted me and paid me, even though I loved the big bands I went that way because I wanted a home of my own. I had a family. I had to raise them. Let's don't leave out the economics. No way.
