You don't have to play a whole lot of guitar to be a good blues player. Some people plays too much guitar. Stack it on top of each other the way it don't - you're working too fast. Blues not supposed to be played fast. Blues supposed to be played slow. You could kill a man with just one chord.
When I started to recording, I gave the name of Honeyboy, but my people only knew me by Honey.
I was 22 years old when I met Robert Johnson. I was there the night he was poisoned.
When I was young, I was everywhere.
You could play the blues like it was a lonesome thing - it was a feeling.
The blues is nothing but a story... The verses which are sung in the blues is a true story, what people are doing... what they all went through. It's not just a song, see?
I'd probably sit around the house and get lonesome if I didn't have something to do.
