The Blues Are Three L's - Living

I've Said That Playing The Blues Is Like Having To Be Black Twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan Missed On Both Counts, But I Never Noticed.

Sometimes The Proprietors Of The Little Juke Joints Gave Me A Couple Dollars. I Loved That. I'd Go Back Next Saturday.

I Don’t Like To Feel That I Owe Anything. I Like To Feel That I Pay My Own Way, No Free Lunch.

I Remember Elvis As A Young Man Hanging Around The Sun Studios. Even Then, I Knew This Kid Had A Tremendous Talent. He Was A Dynamic Young Boy. His Phraseology, His Way Of Looking At A Song, Was As Unique As Sinatra's. I Was A Tremendous Fan, And Had Elvis Lived, There Would Have Been No End To His Inventiveness.

A Lot Of Times I Say To Myself, "i Wished I Could Be Worthy Of All The Compliments That People Give Me Sometimes." I'm Not Inventing Anything That's Going To Stop Cancer Or Muscular Dystrophy Or Anything, But I Like To Feel That My Time And Talent Is Always There For The People That Need It. When Someone Do Say Something Negative, Most Times I Think About It, But It Don't Bother Me That Much.
