I call myself a blues singer, but you ain't never heard me call myself a blues guitar man.
I'll tell you why I like writing: it's just jumping into a pool. I get myself into a kind of trance. I engage the world, but it's also wonderful to just escape. I try to find the purities out of the confusion. It's pretty old-fashioned, but it's fun.
Surely man was not created to be an idle fellow; he was not set in this universal orchard to stand still as a tree.
