It's a great relationship when you can work with the person who you consider to be your soul mate.

Because I was successful over the years, I never had the opportunity to do the stuff I really wanted.

I took the rhythm place, which a lot of people didn't know how to do the way I could, and this was really the first time that Johnny had a rhythm guitar player.

I wanted to play some more grown-up music - jazz.

It's a great relationship when you can work with the person who you consider to be your soul mate.

There was nobody at the time who was playing slide guitar like Johnny, and nobody, or no white guys at least, that was playing country blues like that on the acoustic guitar. And it was at that point that I realized what Johnny had to offer.

So, after awhile, you can only get so much happiness from a guy who's drunk come up and tell you you're great.
