I Never Sit Down And

My Main Influences Have Always Been The Classic Jazz Players Who Sang, Like Louis Armstrong And Nat King Cole And Jack Teagarden.

I Don't Remember Any Impression [from Blues].the Blues Was Just Everywhere In The Mississippi Delta. It Was Mostly Black Sharecroppers Living There, And There Was A Lot Of Blues Around. Sometimes The Guys Would Sing The Blues In The Fields, Working.

I've Been Able To Do Pretty Well. I Don't Work As Many Consecutive Nights As I Used To, But I'm Still Working Over 100 Nights A Year, So That's Good For Me.

Everybody Cryin' Mercy / When They Don't Know The Meaning Of The Word.

I'm Playin' The Music I Like.
