Music Sets Up Certain Vibration Which Unquestionably Results In A Physical Reaction. Eventually The Proper Vibration For Every Person Will Be Found And Utilized.

An Entire Composition Written In Jazz Could Not Live.

The Composer Does Not Sit Around And Wait For An Inspiration To Walk Up And Introduce Itself...making Music Is Actually Little Else Than A Matter Of Invention Aided And Abetted By Emotion. In Composing We Combine What We Know Of Music With What We Feel.

Originality Is The Only Thing That Counts. But The Originator Uses Material And Ideas That Occur Round Him And Pass Through Him. And Out Of His Experience Comes The Original Creation.

Summertime And The Living Is Easy Fish Are Jumpin' And The Cotton Is High Oh, Your Daddy's Rich And Your Mama's Good Lookin' So Hush Little Baby Now Don't You Cry One Of These Mornin's You're Gonna Rise Up Singin' Then You'll Spread Your Wings And Take To The Sky But Til That Mornin' Ain't Nothin' Can Harm You With Your Daddy And Your Mammy Standin' By.
