Ever Since The World Ended, I Don't

And Lennie Tristano I Like A Lot, I Still Like Him.

The Things That Really Matter Don't Mix With Idle Chatter.

I Never Thought I Was Playing Black Music. I Was Just Playing Music, The Stuff I Liked. I Sang Blues At Parties And Things When I Was A Kid.

If It's Worth Remembering, I'll Remember It. If Something Keeps Coming Back, If I Keep Thinking Of That Phrase, If I See Manifestations Of It At Different Times And Different Places, Then I Feel It's Worth Making A Song Out Of.

My Main Influences Have Always Been The Classic Jazz Players Who Sang, Like Louis Armstrong And Nat King Cole And Jack Teagarden.
