"We would walk through the country with our guitars on our shoulders, stop at people’s houses, play a little music, walk on..."

"We could hitchhike, transfer from truck to truck, or, if we couldn’t catch one of them, we’d go to the train yard, ’cause the railroad was all through that part of the country then... Man, we played for a lot of peoples."

"I knows it side to side."

The trouble with getting older is that there is so much past to remember.

Field recordings he made for the Library of Congress under the supervision of the folklorist Alan Lomax in 1942 are the only documents of Mr. Edwards’s music from his years in the Delta.

Man, that Alan Lomax was WPA-funded wasn't he?

Heresy.

I've heard Honeyboy play a few times. I believe he is the last bluesman from the 20s and 30s.

When you sing you're ageless,
You have no age,
You're there again.

So play that tune,
Sing that song,
And roll another seven.

Impound his guitar. He may have been a criminal.

Had an inside job at the Library of Congress. Where Seegers speak only to Lomax, and Lomax speaks only to God.

If I played and sang like that, people would just say I sucked.

I don't sound anything like that, and I still suck, so I guess it's just me.
