I Haven't Stopped And I Don't Plan

I Was Taking Chemical Engineering. But I Went Into The Army After That. When I Came Out Of The Army, I Was A Different Person. I Met A Lot Of Good Jazz Players In The Army.

I Went Through The Whole Number, You Know. The Swing Era, The Boogie Woogie Era, The Bebop Era. Thelonious Monk Is Still One Of My Favorites. So A Lot Of These People Had Their Effect On Me.

I've Been Able To Do Pretty Well. I Don't Work As Many Consecutive Nights As I Used To, But I'm Still Working Over 100 Nights A Year, So That's Good For Me.

I Just Have A Lot Off Different Influences.

I Never Bothered About Keeping Track.every Now And Then Someone Records One Of My Songs, And I Get Credit For It.
