If You Still Have To Ask, Shame

Musicians Don't Retire; They Stop When There's No More Music In Them.

If Ya Ain't Got It In Ya, Ya Can't Blow It Out.

The Brick House Was One Of The Toughest Joints I Ever Played In ... Guys Would Drink And Fight One Another Like Circle Saws. Bottles Would Come Flying Over The Bandstand Like Crazy And There Was Lots Of Plain Common Shooting And Cutting. But Somehow All That Jive Didn't Faze Me At All. I Was So Happy To Have Some Place To Blow My Horn.

When I Go To The Gate, I'll Play A Duet With Gabriel. Yeah, We'll Play 'sleepy Time Down South' And 'hello, Dolly!.' Then He Can Blow A Couple That He's Been Playing Up There All The Time.

My Life Has Always Been My Music, It's Always Come First, But The Music Ain't Worth Nothing If You Can't Lay It On The Public. The Main Thing Is To Live For That Audience, 'cause What You're There For Is To Please The People.
