I was taught to think the next week or month or year will only get better than it is today. So I just keep waiting to see how great it will get!

My baby she's a long and lean, you mess with her you see a man get mean.

You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other - our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That's to help each other, not hurt each other.

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

You know, right now, the most important thing in my life is to make sure you understand that, first of all, I thank God I'm alive today, and I mean that. You see, I spent too many years of my life thinking that the big party was the whole thing.

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

The way people come into your life when you need them, it's wonderful and it happens in so many ways. It's like having an angel. Somebody comes along and helps you get right.
