A Guitar Is Like An Old Friend

The Blues Are Three L's - Living , Loving And Hopefully, Laughing.

I've Known People That Was A Part Of A Family And Always Feel That The Family Liked Everyone Else But Them. That Hurts, And That's As Deep A Hurt As You Can Possibly Get. I've Known People That Would Have Problems With Their Love Life. This Is Kind Of How Blues Began - Out Of Feeling Misused, Mistreated. Feeling Like They Had Nobody To Turn To. Blues Don't Necessarily Have To Be Sung By A Person That Came From Mississippi As I Did, Because There Are People Having Problems All Over The World.

I Think Of Guitar Players In Terms Of Doctors: You Have The Doctor For Your Heart, The Cardiologist, Then One That Works On Your Feet, Your Leg. But I Believe George Benson Is The One That Plays All Over. To Me, He Would Be The M.d. Of Them All.

I Was Glad To See Other Blues Guitarists Like Albert King Have Crossover Successes Like Me. We Played In The Same Places Like The Whisky And The Filmore. When Albert Made His Guitar Cry, He Could Cut You So Deep!

Elvis, He Was Unique. And He Loved The Blues, It Was A Pity He Didn't Do More.
