I just like the blues better than rock 'n' roll. | | 101Jimi was always at The Scene when he was in New York and we played many times together. He was just everywhere - he went out and jammed everywhere he was. | | 102I think the blues will always be around. People need it. | | 103I started playing ukulele first for 2 years from age 9 to 11 and got my first guitar and got inspired by blues I heard on the radio that turned me on and I started learning myself. | Learning | 104I'm not good enough to be playin' much acoustic guitar onstage. Man, you gotta get so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers. | | 105The best artists are gone now. | | 106T-Bone Walker was a big influence on just about every guitar player around. | | 107I think it will always be around it just takes one person to make people aware of the blues. | | 108I always wanted to play music and have it be my career and knew this by the age of 12. | | 109Derek Trucks is a real good new artist. He's a young guy. | | 110I really appreciate when someone can blow me away with live acoustic blues. | | 111When I started workin' with Muddy. That convinced me that I could get away with doin' the blues. | | 112When I got old enough to go to night clubs to hear that music at the age of 15. | | 113Well, one of the best things is workin' with Muddy. | | 114The Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter... and Still Alive and Well is my favorite rock record. | | 115Oh, I love to play on the road. I really love it. | | 116My mother played piano so we always had music around the house. | | 117Everybody was tellin' me that I had to do something different, and I kind of agreed that I did need to vary it a little bit. I still love some rock 'n' roll too. | | 118Yeah, we went to England to do a show and I got off the plane and I couldn't write my name or hold my hand up. | | 119There were a whole lot, I bought every blues record I could find, it wasn't just one or two people. My vocal influences were Ray Charles and Bobby Blue Bland. | | 120Little Walter I would've liked to have played with. | | 121I never really got to know Jimi as a person. | | 122I like playin' for an audience the best, though, I think. | | 123 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
