The way I play, I go through a set in a year. So I put '58 Gibson Jumbo Bass frets on all my necks.

Jazz changes and all. But I don't know the names of what it is I'm doing.

If you hit the front end on the right-hand side you could turn that one on by itself and if you hit on the left-hand side you could turn it on and off. And in the middle it was like serious overdrive.

I play as many different things - piano, sax and harp parts - as I can at once. Whatever I can fit, whenever I need to.

I don't play with a lot of finesse. I usually play like I'm breaking out of jail!

Day by day night after night Blinded by the neon lights Hurry here, hustlin' there No one's got the time to spare Money's tight, nothin' free Won't somebody come and rescue me? I am stranded, caught in the crossfire Stranded, caught in the crossfire! Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye Sell your soul just to buy, buy, buy Beggin' a dollar stealin' a dime Come on can't you see that I I am stranded, caught in the crossfire

It is the human things that make life good, the unexpected kindness, the friendly note, the bracing word, the neighbour's extra loaf of bread she leaves at our back door.
