couple heart play
I play purely from the heart, y'know, and so if it doesn't work the first couple of hours, forget it.
mom two guitar
Some are skeptical. My mom thought the guitar was going to fizzle out in two weeks, that it was just a fad-and that was in 1958.
music song jobs
I don't care about the rules, if I don't break the rules at least 10x every song then I'm not doing my job.
emotional giving mind
I'm a very emotional person. If I've got something on my mind, that would stop me from giving my best.
player guitar django
... by far the most astonishing guitar player ever has got to be Django Reinhardt ... Django was quite superhuman, There's nothing normal about him as a person or a player.
average the-end-of-the-day being-played
At the end of the day, there are a hell of a lot of notes being played out there and I defy the average middle-American or the average punter to differentiate between them.
home feet water
I never really felt at home with that - the headbands, the roses, the feet, the peace sign, all that bollocks. That wasn't me at all; I felt like a fish totally out of water during the mid-'60s thing.
locks radio littles
I do hear snippets on the radio. I do hear a little bit of me, sometimes great chunks of me. But I have to take that as a compliment; there's no way you can get sour grapes about that. But if somebody starts taking your whole new thing lock, stock, and barrel, and do their own version of it before you do it, that's not on.
two numbers singing
I wanted to be in Rolling Stone number two with a tomorrow feel to it, like an experimental Rolling Stones with Jagger singing.
ducks want london
London is a dead duck, as far as innovative new music is concerned, unless you want to have your head blown off with some outrageous, rubbish, pounding dance music.
pressure feels no-pressure
I'm happy in English studios. I just feel like there's no pressure anywhere.
running writing guitar
I've tried to become a singer with the guitar and not let any technological licks run my life. Just write the licks and play them as best as I can as a part rather than ad libbing.
careers two people
I would have loved to have been two people, but I was determined not to devote my entire life to my career.
music parent radio
When Jazz broke through in England, I remember sneaking to listen on the radio much to my parent's disapproval.
