"I do believe there is a potential for that audience. There are kids out there who are leaning toward some basic grooves of life and some truth and humor. Being in a big arena with superstars will always draw the masses but there are plenty of festivals, smaller venues and recordings … even if they hear it on a Netflix movie or a documentary… that will reach their people. The blues, Soul and R&B speaks to the world … a universal condition of…

"The simplicity, and the soul. The aim to make a good song, today we have so many amazing technicians and shredders, but it’s very rare to find a good song that sticks in your head. Too much is computerized, and while technology is great in one way, I do think it took away all the beauty of imperfection away. That would also be the fear, as you can already notice how people are looking more and more to themselves, not having compassion and understanding for…

"Blues just means every emotion you could feel in music. This is the magic of the blues, is how it makes you feel, whether it makes you feel sad and get out the sadness that comes with every-day life, but it also gives you the chance to rejoice all the good things in life. Blues is not just one kind of feeling, it’s all the feelings you can have, that’s what I do love about the blues.…

"At this point in history, just getting even your friends to listen to your music, even if you put it right in front of them on their computer screen for free, is a major challenge. I make music for me and my collaborators. I’m making a concentrated effort recently to assemble my music and get it to anyone interested, free. I was always my worst critic, so I try to impress myself, first."

"I feel that Blues and Soul music has and have had a big impact on the Black culture from slavery to now. Blues was the feel good music for our fore parents just as Soul is the new blues for the newer generation now. As I go to the different festivals and concerts and I scan the crowd, I’m noticing that the fans are getting younger and younger."

"Preservation of blues music is no more or less important than the preservation of any other artistic human endeavor. Blues doesn't need missionaries, it doesn't need proselytizing, it doesn't need to be artificially kept alive. Blues music will live on for as long as there is popular music. You can find the blues even in the most insipid, shallow forms of commercially-oriented pop music. It is here to stay. It is in the human genome at this…

"What I miss the most is real music record stores...real radio too. The whole industry today is pretty awful...everything is too overexposed and there is no myth or legend about bands anymore. Back in the day, the only way you could see the band was if they had a picture on the record or if you went to a show or saw them in a fan magazine or on a tv show like Ed Sullivan."
