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

I've got enough money to live me two lifetimes so I don't have to do nothing I don't want to.

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

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.

Poor people have the blues because they're poor and hungry. Rich people can't sleep at night because they're trying to hold on to their money and everything they have.

I hitchhiked, took trucks 'n' trains - anything that would pick me up. I stopped in Memphis for about six months and they found me and come got me. Stayed about a month an' split again.

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