    You are quite right Stuart, music is the healing force of the universe (A. Ayler) and jazz is freedom.

    We are all searching for that! Seems to be the fatal flaw in the human race. Or is it the few bastards at the top who decide. Thank you Mc Coy and jazz for making a cruel world bearable.

    Yes. I am searching for peace. Peace of mind. Or is it a piece of my mind? Anyway, McCoy is searching too. It could easily be in that piano. Or perhaps it's in his head. I think I left my peace in bed. Keep looking and you will find whatever it is you want. And don't lose it this time. Things aren't what they used to be, are they? There is a lot of war in peace. And there is no peace in war.
