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.

The one thing the blues don't get is the backing and pushing of TV and radio like a lot of this garbage you hears. They choke stuff down people's throat so they got no choice but to listen to it.

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

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

They wasn't gonna give you nothin'. I didn't care as long as they let me play my music. Cash on the spot... You cheat me and I'm gonna get me some money, too.

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