My aunt had a phonograph and when I was a good boy she'd let me play it. Every time I visited she'd want to kiss me. She dipped snuff and I hated that snuff so I begged my mother not to take me and then I'd remember the phonograph and then I'd change my mind. I'd put up with the kiss for the music.

I am married to my music. Blues music is at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to radio. So as long as my health is good and I can handle myself well and people still come to my concerts, I'll keep playing until I feel like I can't. All I want is for people to hear what I do.
