A Lotta Cats Copy The Mona Lisa,

My Life Has Always Been My Music, It's Always Come First, But The Music Ain't Worth Nothing If You Can't Lay It On The Public. The Main Thing Is To Live For That Audience, 'cause What You're There For Is To Please The People.

You Got To Love To Be Able To Play

You Either Have It Or You Don't. You Play Your Horn Just Like You Sing A Song Or A Hymn. If It's In Your Heart, You Express Yourself In The Tune.

As Many Bands As You Heard [in New Orleans], That's How Many Bands You Heard Playing Right. I Thought I Was In Heaven Playing Second Trumpet In The Tuxedo Brass Band -- And They Had Some Funeral Marches That Would Just Touch Your Heart, They Were So Beautiful.

Never Play A Thing The Same Way Twice.
