I lived in a hotel across the street from Disneyland for a month.

I had been raised on country and western in Missouri. But gospel was great.

I'm one of those guys who likes to piddle around in the garage and fix stuff.

Garry Trudeau put me in the Doonesbury strip many years ago. So I've been a cartoon once.

Lorne finally said, Do the Blues Brothers thing. The response was amazing. People went nuts.

Most studios in Memphis had a house set of drums; the drummers just brought their own sticks.

Memphis is in a very lucky position on the map. Everything just gravitated to Memphis for years.

I'm a Top 40 record guy. I remember the hits and don't remember the flops. Something in my brain blocks them out.

If you took a little of Sam Cooke and a little of Little Richard, and poured it in a jar and shook it up and poured it out you would get Otis Redding.

I could have gone on to be an engineer full time, except that there was more demand for my playing. But the love of working the board never leaves you.

My favorite moment of the whole thing was when John Belushi suggested that I get a hold of all the blues records I could so I could research the music.

My ears won't fool me. Even when I do a session on digital, we still warm it up somewhere in the process, in mastering or mixing, running the signal through some tubes somewhere.
