The best artists are gone now.

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.

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.

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.

Does history record any case in which the majority was right?

Many People Say I'm Your Friend without knowing the Meaning of a Friendship

It was only when I rounded a bend and glimpsed the white peaks ahead that I doubled my abilities, only when I thought how far i had yet to go that i lost faith that I would get there

I have made many mistakes myself; in learning the anatomy of the eye I dare say, I have spoiled a hatfull; the best surgeon, like the best general, is he who makes the fewest mistakes.

I have never compromised on fundamentals. I've always believed in focusing on creating value and not valuation.

Sometimes I don't know whether I'm thening or nowing.

Popeyes and Taco Bell. I try to be healthy, but they're just so good.

It is nature's kindness that we do not remember past births. Life would be a burden if we carried such a tremendous load of memories.

The fault we admit to is seldom the fault we have, but it has a certain relationship to it, a somewhat similar shape, like that of a sleeve to an arm.

Be a gift and a benediction.
