Don't Go Backwards - You've Already Been

What Makes My Approach Special Is That I Do Different Things. I Do Jazz, Blues, Country Music And So Forth. I Do Them All, Like A Good Utility Man.

You Got To Set Your Mind Right And The Rest Will Come To You Naturally. No Restrictions, No Hang-ups, No Stupid Rules, No Formalities, No Forbidden Fruit - Just Everyone Getting And Giving As Much As He And She Can.

Just Like You Can Buy Grades Of Silk, You Can Buy Grades Of Justice.

I Never Considered Myself Part Of Rock 'n' Roll. My Stuff Was More Adult. It Was More Difficult For Teenagers To Relate To; My Stuff Was Filled With More Despair Than Anything You'd Associate With Rock 'n' Roll. Since I Couldn't See People Dancing, I Didn't Write Jitterbugs Or Twists. I Wrote Rhythms That Moved Me. My Style Requires Pure Heart Singing.

When I Was Going Blind, I Didn't Turn To God. It Didn't Seem To Me Then - And It Doesn't Seem To Me Now - That Those Items Were His Concern. Early On, I Figured I Better Begin To Learn How To Count On Myself, Instead Of Counting On Supernatural Forces.
