I Can't Afford No Liquor,

I Don't Have A Favorite Song That I've Written. But I Do Have A Favorite Song: 'always On My Mind,' The Willie Nelson Version. If I Could Sing It Like He Do, I Would Sing It Every Night. I Like The Story It Tells.

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.

And As Long As People Have Problems, The Blues Can Never Die.

We Are Here Because There Are Things That Need Our Help. Like The Planet. Like Each Other. Like Animals. The World Is Like A Garden, And We Are Its Protectors.

When I Sing, I Play In My Mind; The Minute I Stop Singing Orally, I Start To Sing By Playing Lucille.
