Those Who Play For Applause....tha T’s All

My Older Brother And Myself Always Played Together In Bands, But We Never Knew We Would Be Professional Musicians.

I'll Write Down And Catalogue All The Different Devices That Are Americana To Me, And I Try To Have A Historic Depth And Breadth And Also The Things That We Do In Our Time, The Type Of Vamps And Chants, Things That Are Available To Us.

Instead Of Imposing Your Will On Every Situation...focus On Including Everyone Else, And Just That Little Adjustment Of Attitude Gives You The Space To Understand Where And Who You Are.

It's Really Not A Stretch. The Checks And Balances Are The Same. The Drums Are The Executive Branch. The Jazz Orchestra Is The Legislative Branch. Logic And Reason Are Like Jazz Solos. The Bass Player Is The Judicial Branch. One Our Greatest Ever Is Milt Hinton, And His Nickname Is "the Judge."

I Think That Virtuosity Is The First Sign Of Morality In A Musician. It Means You're Serious Enough To Practice.
