I wanted to play saxophone, but all I could get were a few squeaks.

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

What I am trying to get across to you; is please take of yourselves and those that you love; because that is what we are hear for, that's all we got, and that is all we can take with us. Are you with me?

But between sets I'd sneak over to the black places to hear blues musicians. It got to the point where I was making my living at white clubs and having my fun at the other places.

I've put my life back together, but it's all a growing process and that's neat, too, because if you stop growing, what good is it musically? So that is what I am looking forward to - growing. In some ways, I felt stagnant in my life and it showed.

God it's good to be here walkin together, my friend.

All the Strats have personalities of their own and feel completely different.
