When You Don't Have Much Money, You

I Was Glad To See Other Blues Guitarists Like Albert King Have Crossover Successes Like Me. We Played In The Same Places Like The Whisky And The Filmore. When Albert Made His Guitar Cry, He Could Cut You So Deep!

Jazz Is The Big Brother Of The Blues. If A Guy's Playing Blues Like We Play, He's In High School. When He Starts Playing Jazz It's Like Going On To College, To A School Of Higher Learning.

I Thought Eric Clapton Was Good. He Still Is. Not Only Is He Good - He's Rock's #1 Guitarist, And He Plays Blues Better Than Most Of Us

If It Wasn't For The British Musicians, A Lot Of Us Black Musicians In America Would Still Be Catchin' The Hell That We Caught Long Before. So Thanks To Them, Thanks To All You Guys. You Opened Doors That I Don't Think Would Have Been Opened In My Lifetime. When White America Started Paying Attention To The Blues - It Started Opening A Lot Of Doors That Had Been Closed To Us.

I Don't Do Much Recording Anymore, But Before I Really Stopped, I Was Glad To Get Five, Five Cent A Record. That's Why When I See People Today And They Complain About What They Get, And I Picked Cotton For $2.50 A Day.
