"Music, I believe is the greatest art form because it can create so many different emotions. It mostly makes people feel good and that is really needed in today's world. I want people to look at my work and just for that brief viewing moment have an enjoyable feeling."

"Blues is a part of all music. The younger generation has reached back and infused the blues in their music of today. Each generation has to grow up to realize how important the Blues is to their music and understand how it broadens their sound and feel of their music."

"I believe it’s important to preserve the blues and all roots music in general because it speaks to the human heart like no other form before it or after it and its role in society will always be that."

"My hope is that the blues will never die. As much as it might fade away from the public domain, there will always be a Neck out there hollering and rambling. My fear, or rather, my discomfort, is the disrespect it gets, the systematic omission from our proverbial history books. I believe the blues should be studied as the greatest philosophy and artform of American history."

"I miss that noble combination of sounds and silences with references and meanings. Today, most music makers donʼt even know what silence is… Music of the past would provide a spectrum of positive vibes and hope for the future. Todayʼs mainstream, with a few exceptions, sounds like an insult when not ‘causing disgust down to not caring for the future of humankind."

"I miss Originality. Period. I know it gets harder and harder, but there are many new artists around that have managed it. It’s not like it’s necessary to create a new genre. Just do it your own way – don’t follow a formula, follow your own lead. People love something original. Give them yourself. It’s easier than trying to be somebody else."

"I think blues just one of those things where if I didn’t have it, I would feel there was something missing. Somehow like a hole in the spirit somewhere, and I'd be a lot sadder. Blues is such a part of me, and has been for such a long time and it’s given me so many experiences, so many friends, I'd be a shell of myself."…

"I think in general young people are looking for something to feed their spirit, with all the technology that we lean on, I think more, and more people are just looking for something real to hold onto. What could be better than the blues? So, it's actually a good time for BLUES and I'm very optimistic that it will. It will keep growing and new audience."

"I miss the great grooves, chord changes, smart heartfelt lyrics and feeling of what happened in the 50-70’s - especially in black America. I’m not sure if music will really be that important again. Also, the middle 8’s and the virtuosos - where have they gone? (!)"

"The traditional rock and roll band already has transitioned to the 50’s jazz combo. Small devoted audiences. Not much of a chance to break through, although it does happen. But the world has moved along. You can cry and wail, but the world has moved along. R&R has joined jazz, swing, dixieland, blues, REAL country in being mostly forgotten by the masses. Musicians will go back and mine those veins over and over, but as far as the general public, all…

"I believe - particularly in the 60's - the music of my generation had a significant socio-cultural impact because music was a primary mode of communication for youth and the counterculture back then. Today, of course, there are many different modes of communication - not only for young people, but people of all different ages, backgrounds and political views. Here, in the San Francisco Bay Area, the counterculture was held together by a handful of…
