I'm more relaxed when I can hear the beat clearly all the time I'm singing.

I liked roaming around by myself.

There's a difference between the blues of the New Orleans guys and anyone else and the difference is in a chord, but I can't figure the name of it. It's a different chord, and they all make it.

If I'm going to do blues, it's going to be a typical Jimmy Rushing record.

Anytime a person can play the blues, he has a soul and he has a 'lift' to play anything else he wants to play. It's sort of like the foundation to a building.

The music business used to carry a certain amount of brotherly love, but it isn't that way now.

This business switching styles can't be done honestly by one man. As soon as he can play his instrument well, he can express himself, and all his life he has only one self.
