American - Musician | February 18, 1981 -
My third day playing saxophone, I was in front of a congregation. I still didn't know the names of all the notes. I was playing by ear, following along, but it was such an encouraging environment, I couldn't fail. It was all, 'Yeah baby, you sound real good' no matter what you play. It was a great way to learn.

Music doesn't come out of you, it comes through you. You are almost like a messenger.
