"See, if you overplay, you get too loud. People are gonna mistake
what you're doin' for a hole in the air." Albert King
"Gotta keep movin', gotta keep movin. Blues fallin' down like hail." Robert Johnson.
"Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives.
If you don't live it you don't have it . . .
Young people have forgotten to cry the blues.
Now they talk and get lawyers and things." Big Bill Broonzy.
"You can't be still when you start playing music.
That is if you can play it.
You'd be looking at some old black train coming up,
you understand, and you'd be getting on her." Rev Gary Davis.
