I want to play music when I want, write a song if I want or watch a baseball game if I want.
people guy laid-back
I never build myself us. I let the people do that. I'm the most laid-back person, and I let them build me up. If you ask me, I say, 'I''m just a guy playin' some blues.

world hard
It's never hard to sing the blues. Everyone in the world has the blues . . .
