"Always carry a church key, That's your key-man clause, like one string Sam, he's one! He was a Detroit street musician who played in the fifties on a homemade instrument. His song 'I need a hundred dollars' is warm pie.
Another key to the church is Hubert Sumlin, Howlin' Wolf's guitar player.
He just stands there like the statue of liberty, making you want to look up her dress the whole time, to see how he's doing it."
