I'm Playin' The Music I

There's A Few Tunes Of Mine That Don't Have Jokes, But Most Of Them Have A Joke And They Have A Humorous Point Of View Somewhere.

I Remember The First Check I Got From The Who's Recording [of "young Man Blues"]. I'd Been Getting Checks For $10 And $15 And So Forth, And This One Was For A Much Larger Amount Than That. I Thought It Was A Mistake.

[the Producer Told Me:] "we Can Try One More Record, And We'll See How That One Does." Those Records Never Did Anything. My Music Never Got Mentioned. My Color Got Mentioned.

It Was The British Rockers That Saved Me. They Brought Me To A Different Generation Altogether [in The 60th]. The Who And The Yardbirds And Georgie Fame And Van Morrison And All Those People. The Only Person Who Ever Did My Songs In [ U.s] Country Was Bonnie Raitt.

And Lennie Tristano I Like A Lot, I Still Like Him.
