I just hope I'm remembered as a good blues musician.

I started playing ukulele first for 2 years from age 9 to 11 and got my first guitar and got inspired by blues I heard on the radio that turned me on and I started learning myself.

The best artists are gone now.

I just like the blues better than rock 'n' roll

I think the blues will always be around. People need it.

There were a whole lot, I bought every blues record I could find, it wasn't just one or two people. My vocal influences were Ray Charles and Bobby Blue Bland.

T-Bone Walker was a big influence on just about every guitar player around.

I think about legacy a lot, hopefully at the end of the day they say I was a good bluesman. That's all I want.

When I was about 12, I knew I wanted to be a musician. The blues had so much emotion and so much feeling; if you don't have that, you're not going to be good at it.

My mother played piano so we always had music around the house

Everybody was tellin' me that I had to do something different, and I kind of agreed that I did need to vary it a little bit. I still love some rock 'n' roll too.

Sometimes a man does not accept life as given.

God loves us so much that he doesn’t let us live forever so we can stop making mistakes

I have a future and I have a mind and I have things to look forward to,' but to me it's just about..I love to pitch so much.

Great marriages are like the Higgs Boson particle, its existence has been theorized, but no one has ever seen one.

Doing an experiment is not more important than writing.

Too much has already been said and written about women's sphere. Leave women, then, to find their sphere.

Middle-age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you.

BE A STUDENT BY STAYING OPEN AND WILLING TO LEARN FROM EVERYONE AND ANYONE.
