I stone got crazy when I saw somebody run down them strings with a bottleneck. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and I said that I had to learn.

I was messing around with the harmonica... but I was 13 before I got a real good note out of it.

I been in the blues all my life. I'm still delivering 'cause I got a long memory.

That Mississippi sound, that Delta sound is in them old records. You can hear it all the way through.

Oh, I started out young. They handed me a cotton sack when I was about 8 years old. Give me a little small one, tell me to fill it up. I never did like the farm but I was out there with my grandmother, didn't want to get away from around her too far.

I'm learning Spanish - I got Rosetta Stone for Christmas.
