Music Is A Gift And

The Beatles Are Lucky, Very Lucky. But What Has Happened To Them Has Nothing To Do With Them, In A Sense. They Came Along At The Right Time. Attention Was Focused On Them. They've Had The Chance To Grow In Almost Any Direction They Wanted. Very Lucky. They Are Not Exceptionally Talented.

Funk, Gospel, Blues Is All Out Of Slavery Times, Out Of Depression, Out Of Sorrow.

To Most White People, Jazz Means Black And Jazz Means Dirt, And That's Not What I Play. I Play Black Classical Music.

Music Is One Of The Ways By Which You Can Know Everything Which Is Going On In The World. You Can Feel... Through Music... Whew... You Can Feel The Vibrations Of Everybody In The World At Any Given Moment.

I'm Sorry That I Did Not Become The World's First Black Classic Pianist. I Think I Would Have Been Happier.
