I Learn Something New Every

When I Got This Saxophone, It Became A Religion. There Wasn't Tv, There Wasn't Much Money, And There Was Just A Real Dedication.... I Never Thought Of It As An Art. It Was Just Work That I Loved. Not Just Work, But Work That I Loved. I Loved It So Much, I Would Play It If Nobody Listened To It. Any Jazz Musician, If There's Nobody Around To Listen, Would Play Just For The Sheer Joy Of Improvising Music.

Life Is Too Full Of Distractions Nowadays. When I Was A Kid We Had A Little Emerson Radio And That Was It. We Were More Dedicated. We Didn't Have A Choice.

A Good Quartet Is Like A Good Conversation Among Friends Interacting To Each Other's Ideas.

I'm A Recovered Alcoholic. I Don't Do Anything Anymore, But Those Things, Those Things Take Away ... You're A Different Personality Completely When You Take Those. For Those Who Are Really Chemically Dependent On Anything, It's Not You.

I Played In Rhumba Bands, Mickey Mouse Bands; All Kinds Of Bands.
