No One Can Take It Away From

I Liked Blues From The Time My Mother Used To Take Me To Church. I Started To Listen To Gospel Music, So I Liked That. But I Had An Aunt At That Time, My Mother's Aunt, Who Bought Records By People Like Lonnie Johnson, Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson And A Few Others.

I Don't Like Anybody To Be Angry With Me. I'd Rather Have Friends.

The Way I Feel Today, As Long As My Health Is Good And I Can Handle Myself Well And People Still Come To My Concerts, Still Buy My Cds, I'll Keep Playing Until I Feel Like I Can't.

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.

Sometimes The Proprietors Of The Little Juke Joints Gave Me A Couple Dollars. I Loved That. I'd Go Back Next Saturday.
