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.

All my life I been doin' what people tell me to do. Now, I'm telling them.

The way Will Moore taught me, and the way I play it, the blues is just something different.

Since you knew they was goin' to cheat you anyway, I recorded under any name with all of 'em.

But I don't want to do no big tours or go out on the road.

My style is all to myself.

I went on to Cincinnati. I had got a taste of the big cities and them bright lights. I stayed there until I was about 18 or 19 and then I went on to Detroit.
