Naw, it - it never stops, man... You gotta be doing what you're supposed to be doing - whenever, however it's coming down, you know. If you're getting your butt kicked - you still gotta do what you gotta be doing.

All the music that I play today, I actually heard either at home or in my neighborhood when I was growing up in the '40s and '50s.

I came up not understanding that a lot of people didn't start to hear music until they went to college or were turned on by an older brother or sister.

What you have to understand is that blues... it's in a line from the oldest forms of African music. If you're playing it like it's an echo of the past, it would be a lot less exciting, but this music lives today.
