I'm Not A Politician; I

It's A Really Unfair World Because Life Is, Where I Am; All Day Long We Listen To American Music. So I Don't See Why The Radios In The U.s. Cannot Even Put Aside One Hour A Day Just To Play Music That Is Not American.

And Why Is Our Music Called World Music? I Think People Are Being Polite. What They Want To Say Is That It's Third World Music. Like They Use To Call Us Under Developed Countries, Now It Has Changed To Developing Countries, It's Much More Polite.

My Thoughts Are Like Quick Little Fish That Swim Out Of My Grasp.

When I Was Young, I Never Bought Records Because My Brother Joseph Played Saxophone And Had A Record Player. I Loved Listening To His Records: The Dorsey Brothers, Duke Ellington, All The Big American Jazz Bands, And Vocalists Like Ella Fitzgerald, Ernestine Anderson, And Kitty White, A Singer From The Us Who Was A Friend Of Nina Simone. Nobody In America Seems To Know About Her, But She Was Quite Popular In South Africa.

Well There Is A Lot Of Work Here For Younger And Older Musicians Now. Our Ministry Of Culture Has Now Really Embarked On Changing Things For Artists, And It Is Getting Much Better. We Just Have To Organize Ourselves As Artists, And Then Things Will Be Better.
