“Well I think the blues is more or less a feeling that you get from something that you think is wrong, or something that somebody did wrong to you, or something that somebody did wrong to some of your own people or something like that. That’s the way I see the blues. It cause a felling, more or less a sad feeling about it, and when you have that sort of felling well, quite naturally you reproduce it. And the onliest way you have to tell it would be through a song, and that would be the blues.”
