I Have No Idea What I'm Doin'.

I Finally Decided If I Was Going To Make A Living, I Was Gonna Have To Come To New York.

I'm Happy Whenever Anybody Does My Material. I Don't Care What They Do With It. I Do What I Want To With Other People's Songs.

I Don't Remember Any Impression [from Blues].the Blues Was Just Everywhere In The Mississippi Delta. It Was Mostly Black Sharecroppers Living There, And There Was A Lot Of Blues Around. Sometimes The Guys Would Sing The Blues In The Fields, Working.

I Start Out With Words, With The Idea, The Line. Then After I Get A Line Or Two, I Try To Find What Melodic Line Those Lines Would Be Suited To. As Soon As I Find The Form I Can Finish The Song In My Head.

I've Been Able To Do Pretty Well. I Don't Work As Many Consecutive Nights As I Used To, But I'm Still Working Over 100 Nights A Year, So That's Good For Me.
