Music Is Your Own Experience, Your Own

Music Is Your Own Experience, Your Own Thoughts, Your Wisdom. If You Don't Live It, It Won't Come Out Of Your Horn. They Teach You There's A Boundary Line To Music. But, Man, There's No Boundary Line To Art.

Some Guys Said 'here's Bop!' Wham! They Said, 'here's Something We Can Make Money On!' Wham! 'here's A Comedian!' Wham! Here's A Guy Who Talks Funny Talk!'

Master Your Instrument. Master The Music. And Then Forget All That Bullshit And Just Play.
