A fantabulous night to make romance.

What excited me when I first came into it was the performing aspect and doing blues-oriented material, rock/blues oriented stuff, basic stuff, basic what they call rock 'n' roll.

I think that there are quite a few acts which have stayed with the basic feelings and that's good. And I see something of a swing back to that. For example there are quite a few people copying my early stuff now. Like it's become a reference point or something.

I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.

Did you ever hear about the rock and roll singer who got 3 or 4 Cadillacs, saying power to the people, dance to the music, wants you to pat him on the back.

That's the jazz that I like - the stuff that has a soothing effect.

I find it extremely difficult talking about my songs because there's so many different things that can make a song come together.
