When I Do Eventually Drop, I Pray To God That It Will Happen In One Of Three Ways. Firstly, On Stage Or Leaving The Stage, Then Secondly In My Sleep. And The Third Way? You'll Have To Figure That Out For Yourself!

I Think Ive Done The Best I Could Have Done. But I Keep Wanting To Play Better, Go Further. There Are So Many Sounds I Still Want To Make, So Many Things I Havent Yet Done. When I Was Younger I Thought Maybe Id Reached That Peak. But Im 86 Now, And If I Make It Through To Next Month, Ill Be 87. And Now I Know It Can Never Be Perfect, It Can Never Be Exactly What It Should Be, So You Got To Keep Going Further, Getting Better.

I Can't Afford No Liquor, All I Can Buy Is Beer And Wine.
