"I think that as long as there are young people going through all the angst and agony that's included in being young (sexuality; personal identity; finding 'my tribe'; rebellion against 'normal') music will thrive and be full of the frenetic energy that creates it. And it doesn't have to be rock n roll - which may someday go the way of the dinosaur."

"I am hopeful for the future of the genre. I think those purists are just a loud minority, and I feel like a lot of newer artists are driving a bit of a resurgence in the genre's popularity. Buddy Guy recently said that he felt the wider music industry treated the Blues "like a stepchild," and I hope we'll started to see a shift in those attitudes before much longer."

"Music is the most powerful tool for social revolution and building a society. I can only hope my music will leave a lasting impression on others. My goal is to make music from the heart. This sounds cliche but these days there is so much temptation to conform your music to fit into a certain mold to "sell". I will know I have accomplished something if I inspire others to create, play guitar, or build something beautiful."…

"American roots music is so steeped in the rich and complicated history of the United States. Listening to this music and trying to understand how it relates to the times in which it was written or performed offers so much insight into the history and people of the US. It’s the sound track to a lot of movies and is woven into our lives."

"I understand that “The Spirit” is the God-breathed identity that all of us have been uniquely given. Music can be one of the expressions that we use to communicate how we have been affected by The Spirit. The meaning of life is knowing and experiencing the Love that God has for us all and sharing that love with all that we meet."

"Well, blues along with jazz was invented by African Americans, so in a way, it has done good things for black people in the US. This music brings whites and blacks together. That was especially important in the 1950’s and 60’s here. But now blues inhabits a very small community and has little social implications."
