I like the exchange between Little Walter and Leonard Chess in the studio,
when Walter was grousing about a microphone he didn't like.  Chess was
telling him "just try it - it's like if you kill someone first, and then
say you're gonna kill 'em."  Walters response was ".... I don' wanna kill
no one..." 

Now figure out how to put all that on a T-shirt that doesn't belong to 
Dolly Parton 8-}
