I don't remember any impression [from blues].The blues was just everywhere in the Mississippi Delta. It was mostly black sharecroppers living there, ….

I haven't stopped and I don't plan on stoppin' any time soon..

And Lennie Tristano I like a lot, I still like him..

I'm happy whenever anybody does my material. I don't care what they do with it. I do what I want to with other people's songs..
