My Main Influences Have Always Been The

All The Classic Jazz Players All Sang And A Lot Of 'em Sang Blues.

I Haven't Stopped And I Don't Plan On Stoppin' Any Time Soon.

I Never Sit Down And Write. I Just Sorta Let Things Form In My Brain.

I Don't Sit Down To Write A Song; They Just Come To Me From Something That Somebody Says, Or Something In The News. The Punchline Comes To Me, And I Go Over It In My Head And Get The Song Form. I Hadn't Been Doing That A Lot.

My Main Influences Have Always Been The Classic Jazz Players Who Sang, Like Louis Armstrong And Nat King Cole And Jack Teagarden.
