If music became extinct now, I dont know what Id be good for.

I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not.

As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member

There were some older guitarists on my side of town, and I got to know many of them

We were playing popular music, but we were doing our own arrangements because we were too lazy to sit down and figure out the originals

Around '75 when the recession hit, club owners started going to disco because it was cheaper for them to just buy a sound system than it was to hire a band.

Success is fickle, but creativity is a gift.
