"The balance between technique and soul is an important component of the blues. You have to have technique to execute the performance and you have to have soul for the music to be felt. So, in a strange way you only want to get so proficient on your instrument. Too much technique will take away from the music.

"Music and art are always moving. The artists who created the blues of the past lived very different lives from those today. It is truly mind blowing this awesome music that came out of such hard times, deprivation, struggle, racism, and so on. WOW. One of America's greatest art forms was created by people who were among most overlooked, oppressed, discriminated against and terrorized. I think blues music is so powerful in it's power to transcend,…

«Τα Μπλουζ είναι, όπως την ορίζει ο Willie Dixon, τα γεγονότα της ζωής. Ορίζεται επίσης, όπως την αποκαλεί ο Willie, η μπλουζ ως οι ρίζες. Όλη η υπόλοιπη αμερικανική μουσική είναι ο καρπός. Αλλά για μένα, έχει μια πολύ προσωπική, σημαντική σημασία επειδή είναι αφροαμερικανική λαϊκή μουσική.»

"It is about having your health. Feeling good and your body working well enough to make music. Music is very physical, takes a lot to play and instrument and sing. Life can be a struggle and people use drugs, liquor and bad relationships to cope. That stuff just breaks you down and you can't go on. Your music and voice is not as good if you do not take care of yourself."
