It's a true feeling that comes from the heart, not something that just comes out of my mouth. Blues is what I love, and blues is what I always do.
It's tough being out there doing what I'm doing in what they call a man's world.
Up on that stage, my personality changes. I put everything behind me when I perform. My problems dont belong to my fans. I dont put a burden on my audience. I give them 100 percent of my energy.
Something magic happens when I get to a club or get on stage.
I used to listen to the radio, and when I was about 18 years old, B.B. King was a disc jockey and he had a radio program, 15 minutes a day, over in West Memphis, Arkansas and he would play the blues.
Hey bartender, hey man, look here. Give us one more, two more, three more glasses of beer.
