Who told you I was a musician?

It can even be a single note which defines the entire song.

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.

Lonesome. Lonesome. I know what it means. Here all by my lonesome, dreaming empty dreams. Weary. Weary at the close of day, wondering if tomorrow brings me joy or sorrow.

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.

I extract what I consider the best material from different sources. But often the material I perform comes from a very strange location in history, which are minstrel shows.
