Willie King

Well music, music to me is a spiritual, it’s a spiritual thing. See it helps the mind. See, it reach into your what we call your soul, your mind and see it ain’t your body, its what your mind tell you to do and your body gonna try and do it you know. So its in the mind, and get that mind thinking reality to come down and its what the blues do to get you kinda thinking reality. The real thing. And it will kinda bring you down from those high horses. And you will come and just be for real. If you got it, you got it. If you don’t have it you ain’t going around and trying to steal it or take it from nobody. Or envy because someone else have it. You just keep your little thing rolling, what you got going and somebody’ll hear you somewhere.
