A Young Man Ain't Nothin' In The

I'm Not Inspired By Songwriting At All; That Took Place Years Ago. I'm Pretty Well Established, As Far As My Influences Go. I Don't Listen To Music Anymore. It All Sounds The Same To Me.

I Told [my Daughter Amy] At An Early Age That She Had A Good Ear. But I Didn't Influence Her Music Much. She's Pretty Much Developed Her Style On Her Own, And She's A Talented Songwriter.

I Never Thought I Was Playing Black Music. I Was Just Playing Music, The Stuff I Liked. I Sang Blues At Parties And Things When I Was A Kid.

I Don't Sit Down To Write A Song; They Just Come To Me From Something That Somebody Says, Or Something In The News. The Punchline Comes To Me, And I Go Over It In My Head And Get The Song Form. I Hadn't Been Doing That A Lot.

I Have Lots Of Cds That Came Out At One Time Or Another, And According To The Statements I've Gotten, No One's Buying Them.i Figured There's No Need Making A New Cd. There Are Plenty Of Mine Out There, And None Of Them Are Selling.
