So, you know, it was kind of set up for victory, you know, as far as, you know, as long as we weren't lazy. And, you know, you had to deal with the... People who, for some reason, they moved to the French Quarter and weren't quiet.

It was fun just making music and, you know, making people stop. I mean, because... You know, street chops are different. You know, you go out there and you set up and most people think, you know, you're on drugs or something's wrong with you. And so they pass by you or decide they're going to pass by you. But then you start playing and they stop. And, you know, you're on the street.

You got to make people stop and listen and then give you money, you know. We're extremely blessed because, you know, we always seem to find that combination that makes people say, oh, my goodness. And they still do it. And it's grand.

I mean, just like with anything else, you know, if you're a parent, you want to be a better parent than your parent, even though you had a great parent, you know. But I just don't want to fall into a rut. People are growing up listening to what I'm doing, what I did. And, you know, I want to be above that. It's flattering.

In some senses, you know, it's insulting because people steal your licks and everything else and they don't acknowledge it, you know. But it's still, you know, you want to stay ahead of the game. You want to be the best. Louis Armstrong is like a big influence on me.
