Personal Quotes
Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there!
I don’t like anybody to be angry with me. I’d rather have friends.
I’m trying to get people to see that we are our brother’s keeper. Red, white, black, brown or yellow, rich or poor, we all have the blues.
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.
We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you’re doing so.
