If You Are Serious About American Culture And You Are Serious About Afro-american Culture, You Are In A Lot Of Pain. You Are Not - You Are Not Smiling About It.

You Don't Try To Duplicate Certain Things That Other Cats Do, Because You Could Never Do It As Well As They Do. Nobody Can Get On That Tenor Saxophone And Play Like Trane, Because He's The Only One Who Can Spell Out Chords And Sound Good When He Does It.

Many Heroic Things Happened During Slavery. And Remember That There Was A National Movement Away From It Even At The Time. The Era Of Reconstruction And Then The Subsequent Dismantling Of Reconstruction Sent Us In A Tailspin. Then We Had The Civil Rights Movement. Now We Have Our First Non-white President. We Have A Pattern Of Moving Apart And Then Coming Back Together Throughout The History Of This Country. Each Time, We Come Closer.

I'm Just Lucky To Have The Type Of Friends And Musicians And People Dedicated To My Music That I Do.
