lyrics
First There Is A Mountain
When I couldn’t breathe
I could learn new licks from Duke
When I couldn’t smile
I could write not smiling
When I couldn’t make conversation
I could teach something new
When I felt beat up and ruined
I could jump onto something fresh
When I could not dress for the ball
I could bang out dum tek tek
I have learned everything from my teachers
Inspirations influences
More* from my students and
Jam masters
Dressed for class
Work boots overalls
Fountain pens and notebooks
