And Lennie Tristano I Like

I Never Thought I Was Playing Black Music. I Was Just Playing Music, The Stuff I Liked. I Sang Blues At Parties And Things When I Was A Kid.

I Never Sit Down And Write. I Just Sorta Let Things Form In My Brain.

The Things That Really Matter Don't Mix With Idle Chatter.

I've Been Able To Do Pretty Well. I Don't Work As Many Consecutive Nights As I Used To, But I'm Still Working Over 100 Nights A Year, So That's Good For Me.

I'm Playin' Music For A Certain Type Of Person. Fortunately, There Are More And More Of Us. At Least There Are More Comin' To See Me Than There Were 30 Years Ago Or So.
