Every Song Is Like A Painting.

I Grew A Love For Helpless, Defenseless Things. People Would Give Me Lions And Jaguars. I Had Cheetahs, Monkeys.

I'll Never Die. I'll Just Explode, Right There Before Your Eyes, Onstage.

Music Is An Attitude. It's A Sensation To The Average Person, To The Human Being. And Keep It Simple, Stupid. That's Always Been My Theory.

Jimi Was A Good Guy 'til He Got Into Drugs. That's The Way It Is. I Just Tell It Like It Is.

My Uncle Gave Me A Trumpet, But I Loved The Louis Armstrong Sound And The Harry James Sound And I Played By Ear And I Played Always Soulful Or Very Direct From The Gut.
