You Only Live But Once, And When

The Way I Feel Today, As Long As My Health Is Good And I Can Handle Myself Well And People Still Come To My Concerts, Still Buy My Cds, I'll Keep Playing Until I Feel Like I Can't.

I'm Self-taught. But I Finally Learned That They Was Having Little Shows Or Night Dances Or Whatever You Call Them At Little Juke Joints Not Far From Where I Lived, And I Used To Go There. They Wouldn't Let Me Play Inside, But I Could Sit Outside On The Weekends, When It Wasn't Raining Or Something.

My Mother Was A Very Beautiful Lady, I Thought. She Was Very Good To Me. I Guess - She Died When I Was Nine And A Half, But If She Had Lived I Probably Wouldn't Be Trying To Play Guitar. She Wanted Me To Be Known, But As Something Else. Not A Guitar Player.

The Blues? It's The Mother Of American Music. That's What Is Is - The Source.

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