Blues Musicians Don't Retire. They Drop.

Once I Was Checking To Hotel And A Couple Saw My Ring With Blues On It. They Said, 'you Play Blues. That Music Is So Sad.' I Gave Them Tickets To The Show, And They Came Up Afterwards And Said, 'you Didn't Play One Sad Song.'

Everyone Thinks Because You're From The South You Know Everyone Down There, But It's Not Like That; I Never Knew Nothing About No Mississippi.

If You Don't Think You've Got The Blues, Just Keep Living, And If You Don't Think You're Drunk, Just Keep Drinking What You're Drinking.

Blues Musicians Don't Retire. They Drop.

I've Never Missed A Gig Yet. Music Makes People Happy, And That's Why I Go On Doing It - I Like To See Everybody Smile.
