I'm Playin' The Music I Like.

I Never Thought I Was Playing Black Music. I Was Just Playing Music, The Stuff I Liked. I Sang Blues At Parties And Things When I Was A Kid.

I'm Improvising All The Time. Everything I Do Is Improvised. On The Piano, At Least.

The Idea Was I'd Never Amount To Anything In Music, The Theme There Was That I Was Talented, But I Wouldn't Work Hard Enough To Do Anything With It.

I Sang And Wrote Songs When I Was 12 Years Old.

The Thing Of Playin' And Singin' Never Bothered Me.
