I Don't Try To Just Be A

Kenny Burrell Is Overall The Greatest Guitarist In The World And He's My Favorite.

I've Known People That Was A Part Of A Family And Always Feel That The Family Liked Everyone Else But Them. That Hurts, And That's As Deep A Hurt As You Can Possibly Get. I've Known People That Would Have Problems With Their Love Life. This Is Kind Of How Blues Began - Out Of Feeling Misused, Mistreated. Feeling Like They Had Nobody To Turn To. Blues Don't Necessarily Have To Be Sung By A Person That Came From Mississippi As I Did, Because There Are People Having Problems All Over The World.

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 Was Born On A Plantation, And Things Weren't So Good. We Didn't Have Any Money. I Never Thought Of The Word 'poor' Till I Got To Be A Man, But When You Live In A House That You Can Always Peek Out Of And See What Kind Of Day It Is, You're Not Doing So Well. And Your Restroom Is Not Inside The House.

I Tried To Connect My Singing Voice To My Guitar An' My Guitar To My Singing Voice. Like The Two Was Talking To One Another.
