Blues Musicians Don't Retire. They Drop.

Blues Musicians Don't Retire. They Drop.

Once I Was Checking To Hotel And A Couple Saw My Ring With Blues On It. They Said, 'you Play Blues. That Music Is So Sad.' I Gave Them Tickets To The Show, And They Came Up Afterwards And Said, 'you Didn't Play One Sad Song.'

I Didn't Look Up And Say, "oh, Man, If I Learn How To Play A Guitar I Could Make Not Much Money, But I'd Make A Decent Living Like Eric Clapton Or Somebody." There Wasn't Nothing Like That Out There.

What I Do Is When I Go To The Stage I Forget About Me.

When I Went To Chicago, I'll Put It Like This: I Was Looking For A Dime And I Found A Quarter.
