I think of guitar players in terms of doctors: you have the doctor for your heart, the cardiologist, then one that works on your feet, your leg. But I believe George Benson is the one that plays all over. To me, he would be the M.D. of them all. ↗

Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy's playing blues like we play, he's in high school. When he starts playing jazz it's like going on to college, to a school of higher learning. ↗

We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you're doing so. ↗

Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life. ↗

I'd rather rot on my own floor than be found by a bunch of bingo players in a nursing home. ↗

I play loud onstage for my own benefit as I like. But I'm not too fond of the P.A. either. ↗
