My Mother Always Wanted Me To Be

The Music Was Thunder And Joy. Lightning Bolts Of Happiness And Praise, Foot-stomping, Dance-shouting, Good-feeling Singing From The Soul.

Even As A Little Child, I've Always Had That Comedian Kind Of Attitude.

Now I Can Stand Up On The Stage Again Like I Used To After Five Years Of Sitting Down While I Sang.

You Can't Fake This Music. You Might Be A Great Singer Or A Great Musician But, In The Need, That's Got Nothing To Do With It. It's How You Connect To The Songs And To The History Behind Them.

People That Can't Stand To Listen To The Blues, They've Got To Be Phonies.
