It's real difficult to pin down directions. I just want to do collaboration-tape stuff.

Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature and beauty, come along with me and take it all in. Come here my love.

The blues - there's no black and white - it's the truth.

If you never hear from me that just means I would rather not.

I haven't really heard much that's impressed me the way it was when I first heard Ray Charles or somebody like that. That was really an impression.

My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.

When I first started drinking, everybody was doing it. That was before they discovered marijuana and all that. It was the late 50s, early 60s - it was the beginnings of the rock 'n' roll era. The main drink was like wine. And even that was a romantic throwback to something.
