ALBERT COLLINS
"I BOUGHT AN ORGAN ONE TIME, MAN, GOT RIPPED OFF WHEN I WAS COMING OUT OF PORT ARTHUR. I PLAYED DOWN THERE A LOT. I USED TO CUT ALL MY RECORDS IN BEAUMONT.
THERE WAS JOHNNY WINTER, JANIS JOPLIN, WE ALL HUNG OUT TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME. I WAS CUTTING FOR BIG BOPPER ENTERPRISE. THEY NAMED
IT AFTER HIM AFTER HE GOT KILLED IN THE PLANE CRASH WITH BUDDY HOLLY."
"WE CUT A LOT OF STUFF IN BEAUMONT. JANIS WAS WITH ME WHEN I CUT "FROSTY" IN
'62. SHE WAS JUST A KID. JANIS DIDN'T SING SHE WAS JUST HANGING OUT.
AND I WAS WITH JOHNNY WINTER WHEN EDGAR WAS JUST A BABY. JOHNNY WAS VERY YOUNG,
ABOUT EIGHTEEN OR NINETEEN OR SO. IN 1980 JOHNNY AND I DID AN ALBUM
TOGETHER AT THE NEW MORNING FESTIVAL IN GENEVA, SWITZERLAND."
AS TOLD TO ALAN GOVENAR IN THE BOOK "MEETING THE BLUES" 1988
