I'm An Egomaniac With An Inferiority Complex.

And I Don't Like Having My Picture Taken. I'm Almost Like An Old African In That Sense. I Think It Steals A Bit Of The Soul.

I Have No Problem With Religion, And I Grew Up With A Strong Curiosity About Spiritual Matters, But My Searching Took Me Away From Church And Community Worship To The Internal Journey. Before My Recovery Began, I Found My God In Music And The Arts, With Writers Like Hermann Hesse, And Musicians Like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, And Little Walter.

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.

There's A Desire In Me To Express Something - To Match What I Hear In My Head.

It Was Stumbling On To Really The Bible Of The Blues, You Know, And A Very Powerful Drug To Be Introduced To Us And I Absorbed It Totally, And It Changed My Complete Outlook On Music.
