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

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.

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

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

Rock and roll hoochie koo, lawdy mama, light my fuse.

I started The McCoys in 1962, so I'm approaching my 40th year in the entertainment business.

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.
