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.

If you're going to get into music, you've got to learn the 12-bar blues.

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

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

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

About two months into the Whisky, I borrowed some money and rented a remote recording truck.

My first really good guitar was a Gibson J-45.
