African Music, Though Very Old, Is Always

I Look At An Ant And I See Myself: A Native South African, Endowed By Nature With A Strength Much Greater Than My Size So I Might Cope With The Weight Of A Racism That Crushes My Spirit.

When I Was Young, I Never Bought Records Because My Brother Joseph Played Saxophone And Had A Record Player. I Loved Listening To His Records: The Dorsey Brothers, Duke Ellington, All The Big American Jazz Bands, And Vocalists Like Ella Fitzgerald, Ernestine Anderson, And Kitty White, A Singer From The Us Who Was A Friend Of Nina Simone. Nobody In America Seems To Know About Her, But She Was Quite Popular In South Africa.

But If You Are Going To Wear Blinders Then You Do Not Know The World.

Be Careful, Think About The Effect Of What You Say. Your Words Should Be Constructive, Bring People Together, Not Pull Them Apart.

I Titled The Album Reflections Because I Am Reflecting On My Music Career.
