Playing guitar was one of my childhood hobbies, and I had played a little at school and at camp. My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby – nothing more. – Bonnie Raitt

Ive watched my peers get better with age and hoped that would happen with me. – Bonnie Raitt
