Red beans and ricely yours.

You either have it or you don't. You play your horn just like you sing a song or a hymn. If it's in your heart, you express yourself in the tune.

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.

The best I can do is stay happy.

I got a simple rule about everybody. If you don't treat me right - shame on you.

What we play is life.

White folks still in the lead.
