The Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter... and Still Alive and Well is my favorite rock record

I started playing ukulele first for 2 years from age 9 to 11 and got my first guitar and got inspired by blues I heard on the radio that turned me on and I started learning myself.

The best artists are gone now.

I just like the blues better than rock 'n' roll

I think the blues will always be around. People need it.

There were a whole lot, I bought every blues record I could find, it wasn't just one or two people. My vocal influences were Ray Charles and Bobby Blue Bland.

T-Bone Walker was a big influence on just about every guitar player around.

I think about legacy a lot, hopefully at the end of the day they say I was a good bluesman. That's all I want.

I just hope I'm remembered as a good blues musician.

At the end of your days, you will be judged by your gallop, not by your stumble.

We are far more liable to catch the vices than the virtues of our associates.

My Love is like to ice, and I to fire: How comes it then that this her cold so great Is not dissolved through my so hot desire, But harder grows the more I her entreat?

I'm sure that someday children in schools will study the history of the men who made war as you study an absurdity. They'll be shocked, just as today we're shocked with cannibalism.

Ensuring the access of all citizens to government information and to essential information for human development is a must for every democratic society.

When someone needs help, you help. Right?
