Goodbye Don't Mean Gone.

You Ask Me What I'd Like To Do That I Haven't Done And I Say 'nothin'!' I Haven't Any Mountains To Climb Or Oceans To Swim. I've Been An Extremely Blessed Individual. ... I'm Not Clamorin' For More Trinkets. If I Were To Die Tomorrow, I Could Say I've Had A Good Life.

Music To Me Is Just Like Breathing. I Have To Have It. It's Part Of Me.

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.

If You Can Play The Blues, You Can Do Anything.

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.
