Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.
Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.
It’s one thing to play a Muddy Waters song. It’s another thing to play with him.
What Muddy Waters did for us is what we should do for others. It's the old thing, what you want written on your tombstone as a musician: 'He passed it on.'
