A Young Man Ain't Nothin' In The

I Was Taking Chemical Engineering. But I Went Into The Army After That. When I Came Out Of The Army, I Was A Different Person. I Met A Lot Of Good Jazz Players In The Army.

My Dad Was A Self-taught Stride Piano Player. The Myth Is - I Don't Whether It's True Or Not - That He Taught Himself To Play By Watching A Player Piano.

I Been Getting Good Crowds. It Only Took 50 Years.

It Was The British Rockers That Saved Me. They Brought Me To A Different Generation Altogether [in The 60th]. The Who And The Yardbirds And Georgie Fame And Van Morrison And All Those People. The Only Person Who Ever Did My Songs In [ U.s] Country Was Bonnie Raitt.

I Don't Remember Any Impression [from Blues].the Blues Was Just Everywhere In The Mississippi Delta. It Was Mostly Black Sharecroppers Living There, And There Was A Lot Of Blues Around. Sometimes The Guys Would Sing The Blues In The Fields, Working.
