I Cannot Play A Lie. I Have

I Never Have Any Trouble Playing Anything I Can Think Of. The Trouble Is In Thinking Of What To Play.

I Played In Rhumba Bands, Mickey Mouse Bands; All Kinds Of Bands.

When I Got This Saxophone, It Became A Religion. There Wasn't Tv, There Wasn't Much Money, And There Was Just A Real Dedication.... I Never Thought Of It As An Art. It Was Just Work That I Loved. Not Just Work, But Work That I Loved. I Loved It So Much, I Would Play It If Nobody Listened To It. Any Jazz Musician, If There's Nobody Around To Listen, Would Play Just For The Sheer Joy Of Improvising Music.

I've Always Regretted The Fact That I've Never Formally Studied And Learned The Mechanics Of Writing Music.

Hearing Myself So Much All The Time, I Don't Think I Sound That Special All The Time Because It's Me.
