“Yes, we three were so happy, my wife, my guitar and me!”

Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things.

Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don’t live it you don’t have it.

I guess all songs is folk songs. I never heard no horse sing them.

When you got your hand in the lion’s mouth, don’t do nothin’ til you get it out.

I’m about a 20-handicapper with a guitar. I can only play three songs on my own album. I did the lyrics, not the music.

I’ll try any guitar just to see if it’s different in an effort to see if it will lead me anywhere.

Playing in a group, I’m tending to think more about the music and less about the guitar. That’s just me getting older. I’m not interested in being a virtuoso guitar player or anything like that.

For me, I think the only danger is being too much in love with guitar playing. The MUSIC is the most important thing, and the guitar is only the instrument.

In my own musical existence I don’t feel that being a guitar player is like the best thing on earth to be. I would rather be a balanced musician.

I use a lot more chords than most organists and I’m careful to phrase them with the guitar.

What made me want to play guitar was that painting of Wings in concert in the gatefold of Wings Over America. It looked so exciting… I wanted to be part of it.

There’s never any real problem fitting guitar and organ together.
