The Only Music I Don't Like Is

Though Negative Things Have Happened To Me, God Somehow Let Me Know That Becoming Bitter Was Not The Way To Go. You Die When You Do That. Someone Once Told Me That If You Fully Open Your Arms To Receive Love, You'll Get Some Scratches And Cuts On Your Arms, But A Lot Of Love Will Come In. If You Close Your Arms, You Might Never Get Cut - But The Good Stuff Won't Come In Either.

It's Easy To Get Next To Music Theory, Especially Between Your Peers And Music Classes And So Forth. You Just Pay Attention. I Had A Good Ear, So I Realized That Printed Music Was Just About Reminding You What To Play.

I Went With Lionel Hampton For Three Years. Out Of That Came A Trip To Europe.
