I Learn Everything I Play By Listening

Someone Told Me Once That Blues Is Like Whiskey. They Keep Whiskey In The Barrel For So Many Years, And Then They Talk About How Well It's Aged. But I Don't Think That Goes For Him. I Think This Young Man Has Just Stepped In There Sayin', 'i'm Gonna Prove You All Wrong.' I Think He's Like A Watermelon, Man. He's Ripe.

I Can't Learn Nothing From Listening To Me. That's Something I Already Know.

They Just Said, 'roll The Tape.' No Rehearsal Or Nothing... Muddy [waters] Didn't Come In And Say 'i Wanna Rehearse.' He Used To Look At Me And Say 'let's Just Play The Blues. That's All You Need To Do.

So Here I Am - A 75-year-old Man Sitting On A Bar Stool In A Blues Club, Trying To Figure Out Exactly How I Got Here. Any Way You Look At It, It's A Helluva Story.

If You Don’t Think You Have The Blues, Just Keep Living.
