I Thought, 'my God, This Is Like

But The Guitar, When You Think About It, Is The Most Versatile, Really. I Mean You Can Pick It Up And Take It With You Wherever You Go.

For Me There Is Something Primitively Soothing About This Music, And It Went Straight To My Nervous System, Making Me Feel Ten Feet Tall.

Music Became A Healer For Me. And I Learned To Listen With All My Being. I Found That It Could Wipe Away All Fear And Confusion.

I Listened To King Oliver And I Listened To Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Archie Shepp... I Listened To Everything I Could That Came From That Place That They Call The Blues But, In Formality, Isn't Necessarily The Blues.

If You Hand Me A Guitar, I'll Play The Blues. That's The Place I Automatically Go.
