I Think The Majority Of Musicians Are

The First Time I Heard Bird Play, It Hit Me Right Between The Eyes.

Damn The Rules, It's The Feeling That Counts.

During The Year 1957, I Experienced, By The Grace Of God, A Spiritual Awakening Which Was To Lead Me To A Richer, Fuller, More Productive Life. At That Time, In Gratitude, I Humbly Asked To Be Given The Means And Privilege To Make Others Happy Through Music. I Feel This Has Been Granted Through His Grace. All Praise To God.

The Main Thing A Musician Would Like To Do Is To Give A Picture To The Listener Of The Many Wonderful Things He Knows Of And Senses In The Universe.

...that Is One Of The Main Causes Of This Arrogance: The Idea Of Power. Then You Lose Your True Power Which Is To Be Part Of All, And The Only Way You Can Be Part Of All Is To Understand It. And When You Don't Understand, You Have To Go Humbly To It. You Don't Go To School And Say, 'i Know What You're Going To Teach Me'.
