JUST BECAUSE YOU\u2019RE NOT A DRUMMER<\/u>, DOESN\u2019T MEAN YOU DON\u2019T HAVE TO KEEP TIME<\/u>.<\/p>\n
PAT YOUR FOOT & SING THE MELODY IN YOUR HEAD, WHEN YOU PLAY.<\/p>\n
STOP PLAYING ALL THOSE WEIRD NOTES (THAT BULLSHIT<\/u>), PLAY THE MELODY<\/u>!<\/p>\n
MAKE THE DRUMMER SOUND GOOD<\/u>.<\/p>\n
DISCRIMINATION IS IMPORTANT.<\/p>\n
YOU\u2019VE GOT TO DIG IT TO DIG<\/u> IT, YOU DIG?<\/p>\n
ALL REET!<\/p>\n
ALWAYS KNOW... (MONK)<\/p>\n
IT MUST BE ALWAYS NIGHT<\/u>, OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN\u2019T NEED THE LIGHTS<\/u>.<\/p>\n
LET\u2019S LIFT THE BAND STAND<\/u>!!<\/p>\n
I WANT TO AVOID THE HECKLERS<\/u>.<\/p>\n
DON\u2019T PLAY THE PIANO PART<\/u>, I\u2019M PLAYING THAT. DON\u2019T LISTEN TO ME<\/u>. I\u2019M SUPPOSED TO BE ACCOMPANYING YOU<\/u>!<\/p>\n
THE INSIDE<\/u> OF THE TUNE (THE BRIDGE) IS THE PART THAT MAKES THE OUTSIDE<\/u> SOUND GOOD.<\/p>\n
DON\u2019T PLAY EVERYTHING<\/u> (OR EVERY TIME); LET SOME THINGS GO BY<\/u>. SOME MUSIC JUST IMAGINED<\/u>. WHAT YOU DON\u2019T<\/u> PLAY CAN BE MORE IMPORTANT THAT WHAT YOU DO<\/u>.<\/p>\n
ALWAYS LEAVE THEM WANTING MORE.<\/p>\n
A NOTE CAN BE SMALL AS A PIN OR AS BIG AS THE WORLD, IT DEPENDS ON YOUR IMAGINATION<\/u>.<\/p>\n
STAY IN SHAPE<\/u>! SOMETIMES A MUSICIAN WAITS FOR A GIG, & WHEN IT COMES, HE\u2019S OUT OF SHAPE & CAN\u2019T MAKE IT.<\/p>\n
WHEN YOU\u2019RE SWINGING<\/u>, SWING SOME MORE!<\/u><\/p>\n
(WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR TONIGHT? SHARP AS POSSIBLE<\/u>!)<\/p>\n
DON\u2019T SOUND ANYBODY<\/u> FOR A GIG, JUST BE ON THE SCENE<\/u>. THESE PIECES WERE WRITTEN SO AS TO HAVE SOMETHING TO PLAY, & TO GET CATS INTERESTED<\/u> ENOUGH TO COME TO REHEARSAL<\/u>.<\/p>\n
YOU\u2019VE GOT IT! IF YOU DON\u2019T WANT TO PLAY, TELL A JOKE OR DANCE, BUT IN ANY CASE, YOU GOT IT<\/u>! (TO A DRUMMER WHO DIDN\u2019T WANT TO SOLO).<\/p>\n
WHATEVER YOU THINK CAN\u2019T<\/u> BE DONE, SOMEBODY WILL COME ALONG & DO IT<\/u>. A GENIUS IS THE ONE MOST LIKE HIMSELF<\/u>.<\/p>\n
THEY TRIED TO GET ME TO HATE WHITE PEOPLE, BUT SOMEONE WOULD ALWAYS COME ALONG & SPOIL IT.<\/p>\n
