If You Want To Be A Musician,

Today The Kids That Are Out Now They Make A Hit Record And They Put Them Right Out On The Stage With 10,000 People Out There And They Don't Know Anything About The Business Yet.

Bud Johnson, God Rest His Soul Of Fame, A Tenor Saxophonist. Bud Was Always A Big, Big, Big Booster Of Mine And He Always When I First Met Bud In Pittsburgh When He Came Through There, He Heard Me Sing And He Wanted Me To Come To Chicago.

If You Want To Be A Musician, Study Your Craft. Study Music.

I'm Used To Hearing Myself. My Own Voice.

My View Is That You Cannot Close Your Mind And Say I Don't Want To Listen To This Or That. Because If You Can't Appreciate The Bad For Being Bad, You Can't Appreciate The Good. If You Turn A Deaf Ear To Everything But One Style, Pretty Soon It's Not Going To Work Out.
