Jimmie Lawson: Please allow me to introduce myself…
“I’m coming from United States. I was born in Oklahoma but I’ve lived most of my life in Los Angeles.”
“I’m just a guy who by the grace of God have been able to play music. Blues music and rhythm & blues is part of my heritage and life and roots. So that’s why it’s been easy for me to express that type of music because it’s natural.”
“The same music, same structure and beat also went along in gospel. The lyrics were changed.”
“I have played the blues in different countries and I think, as far as guys playing and knowing the blues fundamentally, I think Finland ranks up with the best.”
