I Do Not Sing Politics. I Merely

In New York I Heard A Piece Of Ground, Written By A White South African, Jeremy Taylor. I Modified It A Little And Sang It Myself. That Song Is Very Special To Me Because It Deals With The Land Question In Southern Africa. We Were Dispossessed Of Our Land.

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.

For Instance, We're Always Fighting Amongst Each Other. Who Gives Us The Arms? And Then We Become Indebted To Wherever We Are Buying Them From - With What? The Very Resources We Need To Keep There.

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

I Have One Thing In Common With The Emerging Black Nations Of Africa: We Both Have Voices, And We Are Discovering What We Can Do With Them.
