When I got through, Duke Ellington stood up and started the applause.
All of these years that I have been singing, no one has done a documentary about my music as far as I'm concerned.
When I saw all of the people I have known all these years, when we got together, it was scary because B.B King and I lived in the same place in Nevada.
But of course it's different now, the blues is no longer blues, it's green now.
Life is like a butterfly. You can chase, or you can let it come to you.
There was a time we decided that it was songs that were done especially from my background because of the things we were dealing with, but nowadays, anybody who has a need, and can find the need, they can sing the blues.
