All Music Is Folk Music. I Ain't

You See, Pops, That's The Kind Of Talk That's Ruining The Music. Everyone's Trying To Do Something New, No One Trying To Learn The Fundamentals First. All Them Young Cats Playing Their Wierd Chords. And What Happens? No One's Working.

My Life Has Always Been My Music, It's Always Come First, But The Music Ain't Worth Nothing If You Can't Lay It On The Public. The Main Thing Is To Live For That Audience, 'cause What You're There For Is To Please The People.

Jazz Is Played From The Heart. You Can Even Live By It. Always Love It.

If You Still Have To Ask, Shame On You

I Spent Nine Days In The Downtown Los Angeles City Jail. The Judge Gave Me A Suspended Sentence And I Went To Work That Night - Wailed Just Like Nothing Happened. What Strucked Me Funny Though - I Laughed Real Loud When Several Movie Stars Came Up To The Bandstand While We Played A Dance Set And Told Me, When They Heard About Me Getting Caught With Marijuana, They Thought Marijuana Was A Chick. Woo Boy - That Really Fractured Me!
