Drinking

"Western swing music: a mixture of country, cowboy, polka, and folk music, blended together with a jazzy swing, little bit of New Orleans jazz and blues. Got everything from a pedal steel to a bunch a saxophones."

"LaVerne, Maxene, and Patty"

"One of those guys that recorded under a thousand different names, John Booker being one, Johnnie Lee, The Boogie Boy, John Lee...one of those guys that always sounds better without a band...13 bars here, 11 bars there, 9 there, it doesn't matter to him. Nobody can do more with less than John Lee Hooker. A band's gotta hold on for dear life just to keep up."
