Jerry Garcia Was One Of The Original

After I Left Texas And Went To California, I Had A Hard Time Getting Anyone To Play Anything That I Was Writing, So I Had To End Up Playing Them Myself. And That's How I Ended Up Just Being A Saxophone Player.

To Me, Human Existence Exists On A Multiple Level, Not Just On A Two-dimensional Level, Not Just Having To Be Identified With What You Do And What You Say.

I Have Often Read Critical Pieces Where The Critic Said That What The Composer Was Trying To Do Didn't Come Off. I Have Wondered What The Critic Meant If He Didn't Know What The Composer Was Trying To Do.

I'm Interested In Music, Not In My Image. If Someone Plays Something Fantastic, That I Could Never Have Thought Of, It Makes Me Happy To Know It Exists.

I Would Like To Play For Audiences Who Are Not Using My Music To Stimulate Their Sex Organs.
