Music Became A Healer For Me.

When All The Original Blues Guys Are Gone, You Start To Realize That Someone Has To Tend To The Tradition. I Recognize That I Have Some Responsibility To Keep The Music Alive, And It's A Pretty Honorable Position To Be In.

Leave Bands, Go Back To Obscurity If I Choose To, Without A Great Sense Of Loss Of Security Because It's All Been Based On The Fact That I Did It On My Own Or Was Doing, Enjoying Doing It On My Own In The First Place.

Every Time You Pick Up Your Guitar To Play, Play As If It's The Last Time.

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

I Thought, 'my God, This Is Like Buddy Guy On Acid.'
