James Cotton on Sonny Boy :
Crazy. He was crazy. Drink a lot of whiskey, had a pretty fast temper. He would fight right away, he'd cut 'cha. He'd get that knife open he'd sure cut 'cha. Crazy guy. But other than that, he was a good man, you know. He had a fast temper, liked to drink, liked to stay out all night long. That's where I get that from, I guess. I tell my wife all the time I'm a country boy. I like to stay out all night long. Me and him used to go playing, see that the other guys get home. There'd be times we'd ride around till daylight, wouldn't be doing nothing just ride around and talk, come home at daylight. He loved to stay out all night, loved to do that. I think that's where I got started on at that.
