Little Walter I would've liked to have played with

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.

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

La possession de ce qu'on aime est une joie plus grande encore que l'amour. Possessing what one loves is an even greater joy than love itself.

The nation needs men who think in terms of service to their country and not in terms of their country's debt to them.

Most people are brought to faith in Christ not by argument for it but by exposure to it.

The most important thing is to have a more open and honest dialogue about gender issues.

I love giving people advice on what to do with their books, but I don't really know how a Kindle Single gets covered.

The revolutionists did not succeed in establishing human freedom; they poured the new wine of belief in equal rights for all men into the old bottle of privilege for some; and it soured.
