“The mash up between blues and jazz is in the DNA of the city. You can feel the ghosts looking down at you…and one of my main gigs is literally only a few blocks from the corner of 12th Street and Vine. The Kansas City sound moves people in a way that makes them want to dance.”…

“The impact of photography and music on socio cultural had be breaking down the barrier of racial prejudice and allowing black and white enjoy it together. I head stories from Buddy Guy where he would play gigs but was not allowed to stay in the hotels in the town he played in. I also think the photo of music album covers in some cases reflected the time they are changing.”…

"The blues is not just music; it is a point of view, a friend, a source of humor. In the day-to-day world it can be a constant companion. It brings with it a relationship for the self, and the ability to make the best of things, whatever, come what may."

“God, music and sports have been the tip of the spear that has brought people together across the world. It is also the most polarizing of things also. If you think about civil rights, spiritual effect on the human soul, the general consensus on current politics and the woes of the human existence, it's all expressed through music. Music was the vehicle for the civil rights movement. It carried out to the people what was in the…

“Off the top of my head.. I think the Blues probably did a lot for civil rights back in the 60's. You had all these young white British and American kids looking up to the old black Chicago (by way of Mississippi, usually) bluesmen and emulating them. It hopefully helped bring the cultures together. Although it is worth noting that there was a lot of theft of songs going on around then too by white people from the black folks who started it…

“Blues is a very fundamental language in music. In essence, it speaks truer of emotion rather than vocabulary. While you can find plenty of sophistication, it, at base allows simple et profound understanding. That’s why it’s so popular around the world.”

“My hope is that music and the arts in general are supported as a way of culture that supports the human existence… Europe treats the arts as an essential form of the learning process… whereas in the US, arts funding is being cut and politicized as being non-essential. That is ludicrous.”

“Not everybody have the Blues, everybody can play the Blues, if they you don't learn how to play it, but I was having you know …but then again everybody can encounter some Blues and depend on how you feeling…And if you can feel.”

“I think that to make the blues more popular today, a musician needs to blend it with other musical styles, so that more people can relate to it. He can also write about universal or modern themes — subjects that people can identify with. That’s how you keep the blues alive and relevant.”
