“Music can affect us in powerful ways, subliminal and otherwise. I love putting an Al Caiola or Bert Kampfert album on while cooking, Enio Morricone is good to relax with. Nothing beats T-Bone Walker on a Saturday Night or RL Burnside. There are times when I turn the music up, stand in front of the big Tannoys and feel a tingle from head to toe. That's music…

“Black music ignited my imagination - I didn't even realize there were issues in the world. I was in a bubble, another universe. My parents and people in general in my life didn't tell me about a lot of things that would have discouraged me from following my dreams. I created an imaginary type of place where I could play music and everything is alright instead of going back to the past. Black music helped me to persevere and be more creative about…

“The blues is a vital part of history and must be spreaded around the world because it is one of the main genre in the music industry and it should be treated as such. For example,  there’s Blues, Country, Rhythm & Blues, Pop, Pop Rock, Bluegrass, Folk etc. The role of the music is to tell a story that people can relate to and the musicians role is to bring it to light by playing in every key and note that’s required.”…

"I want my music to affect people in a spiritually positive outer-body experience. I want to inspire all ages, Male and Female, to show them that anything is possible with God, hard work, discipline, and dedication."

“Music was what helped me through the toughest periods of my life. Working on this album became an all consuming mission. After the health scares I had in 2023, I knew that if I didn’t do it now, I might never get the chance, so I treated it like it might be the only one, as the music takes me on.”…

“The key to a life well lived is in a text I received from my grandson recently, a verse from The Man In The Glass by Peter Dale Wimbrow....'When you get want you want in your struggle for self, And the world makes you king for a day, Just go to the mirror and look at yourself, And see what that man has to say.” A grandson sends his grandfather knowledge.”…

“I miss the mystery and curiosity in discovering  how much good music we had from England and U.S.A, with a preference for African-American music, and the rediscovery of great forgotten artists. Today, blues music Is just one way to get some attention, superficiality and vanity are the true godfathers of the scene, to the detriment of culture and knowledge.”…

“I once wrote that McLaughlin’s music sticks out like a jagged rock. To me, there is nobody like him and never will be. I can’t explain the draw of his music to me outside of using a metaphor like Star Trek’s Tractor Beam. I am drawn to his music. I believe it is the same for others. When it comes to McLaughlin’s music, you either get it or you don’t. There is no middle! For me, and I assume for those that remain spellbound, there is a…

“I think the most important aspect is teaching young musicians that blues music is the real foundation of every other kind of music. It will only help them on whatever musical path they choose.”

“The blues is a music with a deep and powerful history, carrying the voices, stories, and emotions of generations. It reminds us where we come from and how people pushed through difficult times, turning their lived experiences into music.”
