Lawrence Watson Say's that 'The title reflects my feeling towards the musicians as the travelling minstrels spreading there Gospel according to them and them only, no compromise’s and in there own original style. I think the greats sit outside the confines of the music industry, there music doing all the talking for them. Over the many years'.
'I have been shooting musicians, and I feel privileged and blessed to have been able see all these shows, and also sit in recording sessions when great music was being played or made. There are only a few important things in life, and music is one of them. I’ve never called it a job but the luckiest break ever. I hope some of them inspire you as they have me.'
