I like dropping into a small club and playing with some people, trying to help them get a start.

Groups are corporations now. They have pension plans. Musicians have saw the daylight.

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.

I never build myself us. I let the people do that. I'm the most laid-back person, and I let them build me up. If you ask me, I say, 'I''m just a guy playin' some blues.

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

I remember back in Detroit, I used to go to the Apex Bar every night after I got off work. The bartender there used to call me Boom Boom. I don't know why, but he did.
