The document discusses music and the blues across different eras. It mentions that while everyone wants to go to heaven, no one wants to die to get there. It also discusses liking music but not lyrics that talk badly about women. The document encourages playing like artists you admire but being yourself. It recalls being impressed by T-Bone Walker's single-string electric guitar playing and trying to connect one's voice and guitar so they talk to each other. The blues is described as a problem child that was loved but sometimes embarrassing, bleeding the same blood as the speaker.

26. If T-Bone Walker had been a woman, I would have asked him to marry
me. I'd never heard anything like that before: single-string blues played
on an electric guitar.

28. I tried to connect my singing voice to my guitar an' my guitar to
my singing voice. Like the two was talking to one another.

31. The blues was like that problem child that you may have had in the family. You was a little
bit ashamed to let anybody see him, but you loved him. You just didn't know how other
people would take it.

32. The blues was bleeding the same blood as me.
