In an interview with Esquire magazine in 2015, Keith Richards was asked if he knew that José Feliciano lived in the same town the guitarist lived at the time, which was Connecticut. His answer was: "I do know that, but I've never met him. We've never crossed paths, even though Weston is a very small town—there's a gas station and a market." The interview jokes, saying: "So you're actually the 
second-best guitarist in Weston, Connecticut." Keith replied, saying: "I'd go for that. He's a far better guitar player than me. No, I mean technically, classically. I ain't trained that way.
