I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life.

In the day-to-day life of a traveling musician, it's easy to miss so many details. The world goes by at high-speed; it will take your breath away.

The basis of everything that I plugged into when I was younger was blues, and it always stayed with me.

I always wanted to be a Californian. In my wildest dreams, I always liked California - it's the place where oranges grows on trees! Fruit just falls off the trees.

I may sing the same songs for over 40 years now but I always sing them in different ways in order to keep the excitement and passion alive.

Inside each of us, there is the seed of both good and evil. It's a constant struggle as to which one will win. And one cannot exist without the other.

I feel great that I've been given a chance in the golden years of my life. To me, it's the last battle, and I've been given a chance to get stuck in some good armament, some good power, and there's a chance that now I can finish off my working years with my head held high.
