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

You can have fun, but you also have to put on your thinking cap every day

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

I was born in Alabama and my first live music experiences were in church. Every Sunday we watched regional gospel groups on television singing their hearts out

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

It was more fun trying to figure out I Want To Hold Your Hand than to take lessons. By this time I knew basic chords

I'm not the kind of guy who deserves to play a vintage guitar because I'm too rough on instruments.
