I Never Use That Word, Retire.

When I Sing, I Play In My Mind; The Minute I Stop Singing Orally, I Start To Sing By Playing Lucille.

Playing Guitar Is Like Telling The Truth.

I Always Liked The Steel Guitar. I Also Love The Guys That Play The Bottleneck. But I Could Never Do It; I Never Made It Do What I Want. So Every Time I Would Pick Up The Guitar, I'd Shake My Hand And Trill It A Bit. For Some Strange Reason My Ears Would Say To Me That Sounds Similar To What Those Guys Were Doing. I Can't Pick Up The Guitar Now Without Doing It. So That's How I Got Into Making My Sound. It Was Nothing Pretty. Just Trying To Please Myself. I Heard That Sound.

The Crowds Treat Me Like My Last Name. When I Go Onstage People Usually Stand Up, I Never Ask Them To, But They Do. They Stand Up And They Don't Know How Much I Appreciate It.

Jazz Is The Big Brother Of The Blues. If A Guy's Playing Blues Like We Play, He's In High School. When He Starts Playing Jazz It's Like Going On To College, To A School Of Higher Learning.
