Quotable

" As far as I'm concerned, blues and jazz are the great American contributions to music."
- Edgar Winter


"Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things."
- Big Bill Broonzy


"I really appreciate when someone can blow me away with live acoustic blues."
- Johnny Winter


"I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed."
- BB King
