The Climate In The '50s And '60s

Excellence Isn't An Act, It's A Habit

I Never Felt Like That In My Life. I Didn't Know Human Beings Played These Instruments. I Heard Them In Chicago And Louisville And St. Louis All My Life, You Know? But I Didn't Know Human Beings Played Them, You Know? So The Next Day I Went To Coontz Junior High School And I Started On Sousaphone, Tuba, B-flat Baritone, E-flat Alto, French Horn, Trombone.

We Got Into All The Trouble You Could Ever Imagine. We Figured That If The Jones Boys And All The Gangsters Ran Chicago, We Had Our Own Territory Now. All The Stores, All The Crime, We Were In Charge Of Everything, My Stepbrother And My Brother.

My Son Is A Hip-hop Producer.

I Chose The Trombone Because The Trombone Players In The Marching Band Got To Be Up Front With The Majorettes (because Of The Slides) And I Loved That!
