May I Live Forever. But May You

I've Said That Playing The Blues Is Like Having To Be Black Twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan Missed On Both Counts, But I Never Noticed.

The Early Years When I Was Starting, Blues Player, You Wasn't Always Welcome In A Lot Of The Other Places. People Usually Have Preconceived Ideas About Blues Music. They Always Feel That It's Depressing And That It's Just Something That A Guy Sit Out On A Stool, Grab A Guitar, And Just Start Singing Or Mumbling Or Whatever.

No One Can Take It Away From You.

I Can't Afford No Liquor, All I Can Buy Is Beer And Wine.

It Seems Like I Always Had To Work Harder Than Other People. Those Nights When Everybody Else Is Asleep, And You Sit In Your Room Trying To Play Scales. I Just Wonder Where I Was When The Talent Was Being Given Out, Like George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Eric Clapton ... Oh, There's Many More! I Wouldn't Want To Be Like Them, You Understand, But I'd Like To Be Equal, If You Will.
