If You Can't Get Your Songs To People One Way, You Have To Find Another.

The Blues Was Like That Problem Child That You May Have Had In The Family. You Was A Little Bit Ashamed To Let Anybody See Him, But You Loved Him. You Just Didn't Know How Other People Would Take It.

I'm Self-taught. But I Finally Learned That They Was Having Little Shows Or Night Dances Or Whatever You Call Them At Little Juke Joints Not Far From Where I Lived, And I Used To Go There. They Wouldn't Let Me Play Inside, But I Could Sit Outside On The Weekends, When It Wasn't Raining Or Something.

There Was A Lot Of Other Young Players Around At That Time When I Was Coming, But There Was Older People Like Blind Lemon, Which Was One Of My Favorites. I Don't Know, Just Seemed Like Everybody I Heard Could Play Better Than Me.

I Don't Have A Favorite Song That I've Written. But I Do Have A Favorite Song: 'always On My Mind,' The Willie Nelson Version. If I Could Sing It Like He Do, I Would Sing It Every Night. I Like The Story It Tells.
