changing future heroes internet jazz music saw thrilled videos watching
At 3 A.M., I'm still up watching videos of jazz heroes I never saw live. It's so thrilling. And not just the music. The Internet is changing the future of fund-raising. I'm thrilled by the potential.
changed people
He really changed the way that people sing,
boy coming easy freely speak takes talk time undo walk
It's not easy to undo what's done, or to speak too freely ,to just anyone, and if this takes more, than you bargained for, boy it's time you learned, not to talk so loud, walk so proud, you're coming on.
business incredible last music sarah women
Sarah and the women did an incredible thing last year, and I don't think the music business will ever be the same.
kids people incredibles
I'm certain that it was an incredible gift for me to not only be friends with some of the greatest blues people who've ever lived, but to learn how they played, how they sang, how they lived their lives, ran their marriages, and talked to their kids.
god faith spiritual
Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.
bob ballads dylan
My love was Bob Dylan, but as I got older I realized a good ballad was a good ballad.
people glad relate
One of the things that I'm glad about, though, is that regular people can relate to me.
school guitar people
I'm honored when young people say they've gone to school on slide guitar with my records. But people get their influence from my live shows and records and YouTube, not me personally. I walk around with a hat on. People don't know it's me.
waste
Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste
black-and-white men saws
I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.
nice people different
I'm the same on stage as I am off stage. A lot of people who I admire - Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne - are not that different either. You hope that if you met them that they'd be as nice and well-rounded as they appear.
style resources made
The consolidation of the music business has made it difficult to encourage styles like the blues, all of which deserve to be celebrated as part of our most treasured national resources.
feelings feels extremes
I would rather feel things in extreme than not at all.
