I Didn't Want To Get

I Always Read All These Books About The Slaves. My Mother Is Very Educated. My Father Would Talk To Us Like We Were Grown Men. We Never Knew What He Was Talking About Half The Time.

I Almost Never Watch Tv, Except For '60 Minutes' And Pro Football. I Love Drew Brees, The Manning Brothers And The Steelers' Linebackers.

It's Harder To Build Than Destroy. To Build Is To Engage And Change. In Jazz, We Call Progressing Harmonies Changes. Changes Are Like Obstacles On A Speed Course.

Each Moment Is A Procession From The Future Into The Past And The Sweet Spot Is Always The Present. Live In That Sweet Spot. Be Present.

Music Is The Art Of All The Invisible Things That Are Real. Art, Emotion, Spiritual Essence, Consciousness - These Things Are Hard To Prove. Music Helps You To Focus On Your Sound. We Understand That For Very Young Kids.
