And Lennie Tristano I Like A Lot,

I Never Thought I Was Playing Black Music. I Was Just Playing Music, The Stuff I Liked. I Sang Blues At Parties And Things When I Was A Kid.

I'm Happy Whenever Anybody Does My Material. I Don't Care What They Do With It. I Do What I Want To With Other People's Songs.

I'm Not Inspired By Songwriting At All; That Took Place Years Ago. I'm Pretty Well Established, As Far As My Influences Go. I Don't Listen To Music Anymore. It All Sounds The Same To Me.

All The Classic Jazz Players All Sang And A Lot Of 'em Sang Blues.

The Jazz Boom Was Goin' On Then So There Was A Lot Happenin' In New York At That Time.
