I Think It Was That We Were

The Blues Appealed To Me, But So Did Rock. The Early Rockabilly Guitarists Like Cliff Gallup And Scotty Moore Were Just As Important To Me As The Blues Guitarists.

Led Zeppelin Didn't Get That Kind Of Beatles Screaming. We Had A More Sort Of Macho Crowd. But I Remember Once In The Early Days Of The Yardbirds, We Were Playing On An Ice Rink, And The Stage Was Mobbed By Screaming Girls. I Had My Clothes Torn Off Me. That's A Really Uncomfortable Experience, Let Me Tell You.

Artists Say That Paintings Are Never Done. I Sort Of Feel The Same Way About Music. I Would Never Say Something Is Perfect. There Are Performances That Can Generate A Lot Of Emotion In Me When I Hear Them, But I Can't Say If Anything Is Perfect.

I Think It Was That We Were Really Seasoned Musicians. We Had Serious Roots That Spanned Different Cultures, Obviously The Blues.

My Vocation Is More In Composition Really Than Anything Else - Building Up Harmonies Using The Guitar, Orchestrating The Guitar Like An Army, A Guitar Army.
