I believe that men are here to grow themselves into the best good that they can be - at least, this is what I want to do.
John ColtraneSometimes I wish I could walk up to my music for the first time, as if I had never heard it before.
John ColtraneDuring the year 1957, I experienced, by the grace of God, a spiritual awakening which was to lead me to a richer, fuller, more productive life. At that time, in gratitude, I humbly asked to be given the means and privilege to make others happy through music. I feel this has been granted through His grace. ALL PRAISE TO GOD.

John ColtraneI would like to bring to people something like happiness. I would like to discover a method so that if I want it to rain, it will start right away to rain.
