I Wanted To Connect My Guitar To

When You Don't Have Much Money, You Worry That They'll Just Put You In The Ground Someplace And Your Loved Ones Won't Know Where You Are.

I've Been Married Twice. Most Women Would Rather Not Be Married To A Traveling Blues Singer

Singing About Your Sadness Unburdens Your Soul. But The Blues Hollers Shouted About More Than Being Sad. They Were Also Delivering Messages In Musical Code. If The Master Was Coming, You Might Sing A Hidden Warning To The Other Field Hands . . . The Blues Could Warn You What Was Coming. I Could See The Blues Was About Survival.

I Did Several Shows With Jimi Hendrix, That's When I Got To Know Him Better, I Knew Of Him, I Met Him [when He Was Playing] With Little Richard... And He Was Kind Of Quiet, Shy, He Didn't Open Up Too Much, But There Were Questions As We All Ask Each Other. You Know, "how Do You Do This" And "why Do You Do That..." We Had Very Small Discussions On Things Like That. And He Was Very Polite, I Thought [he Was] A Very Nice Guy.

I've Said That Playing The Blues Is Like Having To Be Black Twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan Missed On Both Counts, But I Never Noticed.
