I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it.

I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist. The truth is, I never intended to do this for a living.

When I got out of high school, I was in a blues band. It was the kind of music I was interested in, and listening to, mostly because it was becoming a vehicle for a generation of guitarists - like Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. Mike Bloomfield. And that's what I wanted to be, principally: a guitar player.

I used to be a great blues singer.

I'm surrounded by great guitar players.

Blues music is becoming more and more popular than it ever was. I'm always meeting people on the road that are really young, and are guitar players. male and female.

I'm not a 'guitarist.' I'm trying to be a bassist.

I don't try to just be a blues singer - I try to be an entertainer. That has kept me going.
