Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it.

When I die, they'll bury the blues with me. But the blues will never die.

I just get an idea and then all of a sudden I've got a song.

I do benefits. I do them all the time. There's so many people out there that needs help that I can't say I won't help them.

If they played more blues, people would just get it - they try to hold it back but just about can't hold it back now because the blues is really going.

I don't like no fancy chords. Just the boogie. The drive. The feeling. A lot of people play fancy but they don't have no style. It's a deep feeling-you just can't stop listening to that sad blues sound. My sound.

I don't think about time. You're here when you're here. I think about today, staying in tune.
