I just want to be able to play and make people feel good with what I do. When you're thinking that way, anything can happen. And, usually, what happens is good.

My playing is fairly straightforward, really, and everything's pretty much standard no frills or special effects.

Sometimes you're the windshield; sometimes you're the bug.

There's so many different worlds.

I love Gibsons, and Nationals, too. There's something magical about them.

I bad a piano long before I bad a guitar, and the practice I got just playing those three chords in a basic 12-bar blues song was very important.

What I always try to do is to respond to the song; I've always rebelled against theory.
