His father was a fanatic Yankee fan, and, in the year he was born, 1951, the Yanks were world champions. His father also loved Louis Armstrong. And in the same year Louis recorded "A Kiss to Build a Dream On".

Clark conjectures that nothing could have been more romantic for his father than the confluence of the best in baseball and the blues.

“And here's to the blues, the real blues— where there's a hint of hope in every cry of desperation.”
David Mutti Clark, Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues

“You hear lots of notes, don’t you? Some have a major sound. Some have a minor sound. But there’s not one blue note among all these black and white keys. The real blues, the soul of the sound, comes from the spaces in-between.”
David Mutti Clark, Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues

“The music echoes in the emptiness. It reminds us where we came from and where we’re bound.”
David Mutti Clark, Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues

“And here's to the blues, the real blues— where there's a hint of hope in every cry of desperation.”
David Mutti Clark, Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues

“There’s something lyrical about an eternal truth. It’s a graceful riff. A free-flowing melody. Light and airy, it floats all around you. And when it lands on your ears, when you hear it for the first time, you instantly recognize it― because it’s like bumping into an ageless, best friend.”
David Mutti Clark, Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues

“And a ride in a hearse tells us we’re all close to that final cruise . . . when the body dies and we move on. It’s just the body, man. It’s just the body. The soul’s already gone. So don’t be afraid of a dead body absent a soul. It’s empty, man. No resident. What you need to worry about is a living body that’s lost its soul. Now that is scary, man.” - Funk N. Wagnalls, owner of the Grim Reapers auto lot, a character in Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues.”
David Mutti Clark, Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues

“You got infinite channels and limitless rhymes, but the riddles of livin' stay undefined?”
David Mutti Clark, Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues

“We start our lives with blues . . . with music. It's our first language. It's the rhythm of the womb. It's your mama's heartbeat inside your head.”
David Mutti Clark, Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues
