Delbert McClinton – HuffPost 8.2.13

Mike Ragogna: I ask everyone I interview, “What advice do you have for new artists?”

Delbert McClinton: Never leave your wallet in the dressing room while you’re onstage, or your other coat.

MR: [laughs] Has that happened to you?

DM: You’d better believe it. A long time ago, but it only took me one time to figure it out. I’ve seen it happen all the time. Not really all the time, most places are secure, but you know, when you leave something in a dressing room, you’re taking a risk. But this is metaphorically speaking. Just cover your ass.
