At night in the country, you'd be surprised how that music carries. You could hear my guitar way before you get to the house, and you could hear the peoples hollerin' and screamin'.

He took my music, but he gave me my name.

All the kids made their own git-tars. Made mine out of a box and bit of stick for a neck. Couldn't do much with it, but that's how you learn.

That Mississippi sound, that Delta sound is in them old records. You can hear it all the way through.

If you got something you don't want other people to know, keep it in your pocket.
