I started playing ukulele first for 2 years from age 9 to 11 and got my first guitar and got inspired by blues I heard on the radio that turned me on and I started learning myself.

The blues was so big in the late '60s that it kinda wore itself out, and people weren't diggin' the blues as much.

Derek Trucks is a real good new artist. He's a young guy.

I think it will always be around it just takes one person to make people aware of the blues.

My mother played piano so we always had music around the house

When I was about 12, I knew I wanted to be a musician. The blues had so much emotion and so much feeling; if you don't have that, you're not going to be good at it.
