I Spent A Lot Of Time Teaching

The Less One Remembers About The Day Before, The More The New Day Will Be Unfettered By Triviality.

Guitar Gigs Were Everywhere In The '50s, And I Started Diddling Around So I Could Keep Working. Playing Honky-tonk, Simple Stuff. I Took A Few Gigs With An Organ Band That Put Me Out Front.

The Greatest Teacher Is Just Going Out And Playing.

People Who Love Jazz Musicians Love Us When We Play What We Want To Play And We're Starving. But As Soon As You Commercialize Your Sound Like Wes Montgomery Did, The Jazz Fans And The Critics Are Down On You!

You Might Not Feel Like Playing Pretty All The Time. Instead, You Might Want To Play Something Nasty....you Might Want To Play Something Out Of Context With The Tune. It Might Be A Note That Creates So Much Tension It Becomes Unpleasant, But You Want It To Sound That Way.
