Once I Could Play What I Heard Inside Me, That's When I Was Born.

Some Guys Said 'here's Bop!' Wham! They Said, 'here's Something We Can Make Money On!' Wham! 'here's A Comedian!' Wham! Here's A Guy Who Talks Funny Talk!'

Man, There's No Boundary Line To Art!

Bop Is No Love-child Of Jazz.

I'd Been Getting Bored With The Stereotyped Changes (harmonies) That Were Being Used All The Time. I Found That By Using The Higher Intervals Of A Chord As A Melody Line And Backing Them With Appropriately Related Changes I Could Play The Thing I'd Been Hearing. I Came Alive.
