“I'm gonna tell you somethin', so you'll know. You're right up there with Miles and Chet and all the rest. I know, 'cause I was there. The best ones don't always get the breaks, but it don't mean they ain't the best. There'll always be people who heard you who'll know. And they'll talk about it. That's what matters. The other stuff, gettin' famous, that's just gravy. If it comes, fine, but play for you, play for the art of it, for your own soul. Ain't no other damn reason to play.”
― Bobby Underwood, Softer Than Rain
