Who told you I was a musician?

I think of these things as obstacles rather than opportunities, because if they were opportunities it means I actually took the business of doing them seriously. To take myself too seriously is the gentle kiss of death.

The blues ain't nothing but a good man feelin' bad.

The only thing that interests me is history - reviewing the past and making something out of it.

Who told you I was a musician?

The silence between the notes is the good part for me. I find that to be a very important part of music that is often lacking.

I've got a very behind-the-scenes personality. I don't know how I became a performer. I like to stay discreet, out of the public eye, very low-key.
