Bonnie Raitt

Sometimes there's a Ray Charles tune that did it for me, and then later hearing John Lee Hooker when I was about 14. But B.B. King was a big star in Los Angeles on the black radio, and Rock Me Baby's just a classic tune.

Well, I sure hope so. I don't know how to play single string lead on electric guitar as well as any of the guitar players that are currently out there. I play acoustic solos more, and I play pretty good rhythm guitar, but my lead playing tends to remain on the slide guitar where I know what I'm doing better.

So I just, it probably has more to do with phrasing and what to leave out and just, you know, when you go crazy for somebody's style, it's not, unless you're doing a specific mimicking of what they're doing, which I don't do, I would say my singing, just because of his style, restraint, his restraint and his passion.

I hope I got some influence from him because I just think he's one of the tastiest and most deep singers I've ever heard, as well as one of the greatest blues guitar players in the history of guitar players.

Some days I never get out of bed. I start out with the best of intentions and then shut it instead. Don't think we'll get back how we used to. No use in trying to measure the loss. We better start getting used to it and damn the cost. Go ahead and ask me how I make it through.

Yeah, it took a long time to summon up the nerve, and I think somewhat of maturity and sobriety had something to do with it, what comes with sobriety in terms of being able to have a perspective. And since that coincided with my late 30s, early 40s for me, it's hard to separate the two.
