I Gave You Seven Children, But Now

Singing About Your Sadness Unburdens Your Soul. But The Blues Hollers Shouted About More Than Being Sad. They Were Also Delivering Messages In Musical Code. If The Master Was Coming, You Might Sing A Hidden Warning To The Other Field Hands . . . The Blues Could Warn You What Was Coming. I Could See The Blues Was About Survival.

And As Long As People Have Problems, The Blues Can Never Die.

I've Put Up With More Humiliation Than I Care To Remember.

Hard Times Don't Necessarily Mean Being Poor All The Time. I've Known People That Was A Part Of A Family And Always Feel That The Family Likes Everybody Else But Them. That Hurts And That's As Deep A Hurt As You Can Possibly Get.

I'd Rather Be B.b. King. That's The Way I Started. Let The Heavy Metal Guys Play Heavy Metal, Let The Others Play The Other ... I Try To Do What I Do Better, Not Get Away From It.
