Words of Wisdom
"You have to pick up The Bass, as Mingus called his with audible capitals, and think of the slow years the wood spent as a tree, which might well have been enough for wood, and think of the skill the bassmaker carried without great thought of it from home to the shop and back for decades, and know what bass players before you have played, and know how much of this is stored in The Bass like energy in a spring and know how much you must coax out.
How easy it would be, instead, to pull a sword from a stone. But what's inside The Bass wants out."

"No one could tell me where my soul may be
I searched for God but He eluded me
I sought my brother out and found all three" -Howard Crosby
