“Would you know my nameIf I saw you in heavenWill it be the sameIf I saw you in heavenI must be strong, and carry onCause I know I don't belongHere in heavenWould you hold my handIf I saw you in heavenWould you help me standIf I saw you in heavenI'll find my way, through night and dayCause I know I just can't stayHere in heaven”

“Like a fool, I fell in love with you, Turned my whole world upside down”

“If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.”

“I found my God in music and the arts, with writers like Hermann Hesse, and musicians like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter. In some way, in some form, my God was always there, but now I have learned to talk to him.”

“At first the music almost repelled me, it was so intense, and this man made no attempt to sugarcoat what he was trying to say, or play. It was hard-core, more than anything I had ever heard.

“When I saw you, I saw love. When I saw you naked, I saw lust. When I saw you with my clone in a dream, I saw the future.”

“My definition of Blues is that it's a musical form which is very disciplined and structured coupled with a state of mind, and you can have either of those things but it's the two together that make it what it is.
