Problems Are Chances For Us To Do

I Like Any And All Of My Associations With Music: Writing, Playing, And Listening. We Write And Play From Our Perspective, And The Audience Listens From Its Perspective. If And When We Agree, I Am Lucky.

Simplicity Is A Most Complex Form

I Began By Tinkering Around With Some Old Tunes I Knew. Then, Just To Try Something Different, I Set To Putting Some Music To The Rhythm That I Used In Jerking Ice-cream Sodas At The Poodle Dog. I Fooled Around With The Tune More And More Until At Last, Lo And Behold, I Had Completed My First Piece Of Finished Music.

My Biggest Kick In Music -playing Or Writing- Is When I Have A Problem. Without A Problem To Solve, How Much Interest Do You Take In Anything?

Somehow I Suspect That If Shakespeare Were Alive Today, He Might Be A Jazz Fan Himself.
