Ronnie Earl Quotes

I started playing when I was about twenty years old. I didn’t start playing professionally until 1975. Between seeing Muddy Waters, and also B.B. King, before college I think. It was Albert King, B.B. King, and Muddy. I had gotten a degree in special education. I was kind of confused; I had this college degree and I didn’t know which way to go with it, whether to go the musical route or to go the college route, the profession of special education. But it kind of ended up being full circle, because I ended up playing for developmentally disabled kids for about fifteen years as a volunteer.

Stevie was a dear friend of mine. He was very supportive of my sobriety. He was a fine human being and very nice man. A very loving man, he had a lot of love in him. And of course, he was a great musician. But most people are unaware of his beautiful spirituality and beautiful personality.
