The Idea Was I'd Never Amount To

It Was The British Rockers That Saved Me. They Brought Me To A Different Generation Altogether [in The 60th]. The Who And The Yardbirds And Georgie Fame And Van Morrison And All Those People. The Only Person Who Ever Did My Songs In [ U.s] Country Was Bonnie Raitt.

I'm Happy Whenever Anybody Does My Material. I Don't Care What They Do With It. I Do What I Want To With Other People's Songs.

I Was Taking Chemical Engineering. But I Went Into The Army After That. When I Came Out Of The Army, I Was A Different Person. I Met A Lot Of Good Jazz Players In The Army.

As Far As I'm Concerned, The Essentials Of Jazz Are: Melodic Improvisation, Melodic Invention, Swing, And Instrumental Personality.

I Have Lots Of Cds That Came Out At One Time Or Another, And According To The Statements I've Gotten, No One's Buying Them.i Figured There's No Need Making A New Cd. There Are Plenty Of Mine Out There, And None Of Them Are Selling.
