Man, you don't know how I felt that afternoon when I heard that VOICE and it was my own VOICE.

I stone got crazy when I saw somebody run down them strings with a bottleneck. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and I said that I had to learn.

My grandmother, she say I shouldn't be playing. I should go to church. Fially, I say I'm going do this, I'm going do it. And she got where she didn't bother me about it.

People should hear the pure blues - the #‎ blues we used to have when we had no money.

I was so wild and crazy and dumb in my car. It didn't run but 30 miles an hour. You made do.

You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can't you hear it in my voice?

There was a time when I had the blues - I mean I really had it bad. I couldn't pay my light bill and I couldn't pay my rent and I really had the blues. But today I can pay my rent and I can pay the light bill and I still got the blues. So I must been born with 'em... That's my religion - the blues is my religion.
