“Well, you know, the first step I took was to drop the alto and baritone and concentrate on tenor exclusively, a decision I've never really looked back on with any regret. Another thing was that I was 17 when I moved up there, and my listening had really focused on freer music in the previous couple of years- Coltrane was playing with his expanded group, and everyone was listening closely to that, and we were into Shepp and Ayler as well.” KnowsYearsFirstsWellsDecisionStepsGroupsRegretListeningCoupleMovedFocusedFirst StepsTenorsColtraneBaritones Author:David S.

“A lot of people are not comfortable being apart from the group, from the whole herd, and listening to the inner voice. They just follow what the crowd does and wear what the crowd wears and think what the crowd thinks. They get very caught up in doing what the world says is the cool thing to do and living the way the rest of the world lives. Once we make a decision to break away from that and not be part of the herd anymore - by going inside and finding our own voice - then life just becomes magical.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayDoeWholeVoiceDecisionBreakGroupsListeningComfortableFindingsCaughtCrowdsThings To DoCaught UpHerdsInner VoiceCool ThingsWorld Life Author:Echo Bodine
