I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.

So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.

There's too many good musicians around for the music around for the business to be sagging.

There's so much that can be done on the guitar. And that's what is so good about the guitar - everyone can really enjoy themselves on it and have a good time, which is what it's all about.

The way I see it, rock & roll is folk music. Street music. It isn't taught in school. It has to be picked up.

Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid.

I don't like to tell people what format they can get things in, or say, "I'm only going to release this on vinyl and nothing else. You have to come to my world." I don't like to say that to people either. But, I do think there's a loss of romance.
