“I was always moved by all of the music. As a young man, Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton, Count Basie and all these great musicians would come through our town of Memphis. There wasn't adequate hotels, so these musicians - the lady who ran the theater knew my mother, who had a large house, and many of them would stay with us. So that was another great blessing, so I'm always around these great geniuses, and to realize their humanity is such a touching thing.” MenYoungMotherHumanityHouseRealizingGeniusBlessingMusicianTheaterTownsMovedRanYoung ManHotelTouchingAdequateGreat MusicDukesMemphisGreat MusicianOur TownHamptons Author:Charles Lloyd

“She left me the way people leave a hotel room. A hotel room is a place to be when you are doing something else. Of itself it is of no consequence to one's major scheme. A hotel room is convenient. But its convenience is limited to the time you need it while you are in that particular town on that particular business; you hope it is comfortable, but prefer, rather, that it be anoymous. It is not, after all, where you live.” PeopleWayLifeNeedsLeftRoomsParticularComfortableMajorsConsequenceTownsHotelSchemesConvenienceConvenientHotel RoomsWhere You LiveShe Left Me Author:Toni Morrison
