FROM AN ELMORE JAMES SITE: "I practiced twelve hours a day, every day, until my fingers were bleeding, trying to get the same sound as Elmore James. This went on For weeks and weeks, and finally someone old me, 'He plays with a slide.'" - Robbie Robertson, at the 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony honoring Elmore James
"Elmore kept playing the same lick over and over, but I get the feeling he meant it." - Frank Zappa
