I Just Have A Lot Off Different

I'm Always Storing Away Phrases And Ideas And Things That I Think Might Turn Into Songs.

I Don't Remember Any Impression [from Blues].the Blues Was Just Everywhere In The Mississippi Delta. It Was Mostly Black Sharecroppers Living There, And There Was A Lot Of Blues Around. Sometimes The Guys Would Sing The Blues In The Fields, Working.

My Main Influences Have Always Been The Classic Jazz Players Who Sang, Like Louis Armstrong And Nat King Cole And Jack Teagarden.

I Finally Decided If I Was Going To Make A Living, I Was Gonna Have To Come To New York.

If It's Worth Remembering, I'll Remember It. If Something Keeps Coming Back, If I Keep Thinking Of That Phrase, If I See Manifestations Of It At Different Times And Different Places, Then I Feel It's Worth Making A Song Out Of.
