I was rooming with Jimmy Bowen at the time, doing some gigs, then I went back to New Orleans and played there in '62.

All summer long we spent dancin' in the sand, and the jukebox kept on playing Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

That rich guy you've been seeing, must have put you down. Welcome back baby, to the poor side of town.

Guys like Otis Blackwell and Bobby Darin, and all the guys who were writing songs for Elvis at the time, just hanging around, writing songs, talking about music.

I think after 1970 or so, after I sold Soul City, I took off for awhile and didn't do too many gigs.

I've got a Fender Concert amp from the '60s, the one Joe Osborn used. He played his bass through it.

One thing will lead to another and somebody will come up with a riff or a line or something we build from.
