Tinsley Ellis Quotes

I only saw the Stones once. But, I was really influenced by the British Blues movement and still am. Probably my favorite was Peter Green while he was with Fleetwood Mac. He had a great style and was so tasteful. I�m just a fan of anybody that bends a guitar string in a bluesy kind of way. Albert King was the string bendingest and so, all of his disciples, I�m into. I�m just a fan. I started out as a fan, and I remain a fan. I go to all the shows that I can. I was lucky enough to see B.B. King back before he was a household word. I saw Howlin� Wolf, Muddy Waters, Albert Collins. A lot of the greats.

�All traveling bluesmen are hams. We get hooked on the applause and the attention and the interviews and it gets in your blood. It becomes a part of what you do. We don�t play the kind of music that is on the rock radio stations. We don�t play the kind of music that gets seen on Jay Leno, David Letterman, or MTV. So, it�s real important that we take it to the people.�
