When somebody blazes a path to a highway that never end, you should appreciate 'em some.

Everybody would grab a guitar and listen to somebody else and call themselves a folk singer. When they didn't know no more songs, they'd run out of them.

Something is better than nothing. Doin' anything for a man, there's investments involved, there's time and production. It's better to give him ten bucks and get a record out than to never record the cat.

Logically, when you talkin' about folk music and blues, you find out it's music of just plain people.

I started a guitar school. It was called Home of the Blues, on 125th Street in New York. I did that for five, six years and had a lot of students.

I only write about what I do, what happens to me.
