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.

It's never hard to sing the blues. Everyone in the world has the blues . . .

I am a happy man. I've had a good life.

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 want to play music when I want, write a song if I want or watch a baseball game if I want.

I wanna get drunk 'til I'm off my mind. One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer.
