I liked roaming around by myself.
The blues comes right back to a person's feelings, to his daily activities in life. But rich people don't know nothing about the blues, please believe me.
The blues tells a story in itself. It can make you happy or give you a feeling to swing.
The music business used to carry a certain amount of brotherly love, but it isn't that way now.
This business switching styles can't be done honestly by one man. As soon as he can play his instrument well, he can express himself, and all his life he has only one self.
