I guess the first time I played around Washington, D.C. was at a place called The Famous. That was the first place I played, I believe.

I always enjoyed playing around Washington, because we always have a good crowd. I've never had a bad crowd in this vicinity from here [Alexandria], up to Washington and on to right around Baltimore. They've been some good fans.

I believe in my music.

I don't - I don't like that style, myself. I never did like Elvis's singing, but there was millions that did.

I've done it all. I'm thankful and proud of what I've accomplished in my life. I hope to keep doing it.

I have plenty of good friends that I think the world of - and Bob [Dylan] is one of them, and I like his music - but with some others... their music I just don't care too much about all of it. Some of it I like.

I still go to that church now, and they don't believe in instruments in the church. But, my brothers and sisters in the church will listen to me. They will come out to a place to see me play. They will buy all of my records and everything, but they don't believe in bringing that instrument in the church. But, they'll come and watch me somewhere else. Why that is, I don't know.
