If so, let me know so I can add it to the list. "The blues is the roots of all music. Every other song has got some blues in it, cause blues is the roots of everything." John Lee Hooker "The blues came about from oppression. If there hadn't been any oppression, there probably wouldn't have been any blues." Billy Boy Arnold "I don't care how traditional you are, i don't think any musician is going to do 'Hoochie Coochie Man' better than Muddy did it." Joe Louis Walker "Blues was born black, but not now. Blues belong to the world." Rufus Thomas "The blues will forever be here. Just like gospel. You can't get rid of something that is true." Jimmy McCracklin "My family told me that the blues started in the South, I've read that it happened in the southern parts, especially in Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, through that area...It's been said that within a hundred miles, most of the blues singers was born and started to play-within a hundred miles of each other." B.B. King "They call my kind of music folk songs. But them no folk songs. Them old blues." Howlin' Wolf "I think if it wasn't for the blues, there wouldn't be no jazz." T-Bone Walker "The blues was like that problem child that you may have had in the family. You was a little bit ashamed to let anybody see him, but you loved him. You just didn't know how other people would take it." B.B. King "The very first instrument I played was the bottom of my feet, workin' out rhythms, tap dancing. We used to dance up and down Bourbon Street." Professor Longhair I.J. Goosey's Birthday Party Mr. Gino regulars I. J.
