To Me It's No Accident That All The Symphony Orchestras Around The World Tune Up To The Note A. And A Is 440 Cycles, Except In Germany Where It's 444. But The Universe Is 450 Cycles. So What I'm Trying To Say Is, I Think It's God's Voice, Melody Especially. Counterpoint, Retrograde Inversion, Harmony... That's The Science And The Craft.

Music Was The One Thing I Could Control. It Was The One World That Offered Me Freedom. When I Played Music, My Nightmares Ended. My Family Problems Disappeared. I Didnt Have To Search For Answers. The Answers Lay No Further Than The Bell Of My Trumpet And My Scrawled, Pencilled Scores. Music Made Me Full, Strong, Popular, Self-reliant And Cool.
