I Will Still Carry On

I Deal In Emotions. It's The Harmonic Side That's Important. That's The Side I Expected To Be Much Further Along On Than I Am Now. That Just Means To Say That I've Got To Keep At It.

You Can't Overthink The Music. Mood And Intensity Can't Be Manufactured. The Blues Isn't About Structure; It's What You Bring To It. The Spontaneity Of Capturing A Specific Moment Is What Drives It.

But To Put Out A Greatest Hits On One Cd Was Totally Impossible, I Just Couldn't Do It. The Best Compromise Was To Put Out Two Cds - Early Days - Which Is What It Is - And Latter Days.

I Remember One Particular Occasion When I Hadn't Played A Solo For, Quite Literally, A Couple Of Months. And I Was Asked To Play A Solo On A Rock & Roll Thing. I Played It And Felt That What I'd Done Was Absolute Crap. I Was So Disgusted With Myself That I Made My Mind Up That I Had To Get Out Of It. It Was Messing Me Right Up.
