“I had an affinity for music and could play anything I heard on the piano, but I wasn't scholastically advanced in any way. It was more of a habitual tendency.

But other than that, the only training I had was piano lessons from when I was nine until I was eleven.”

A white, rural hell, where most of the captives are black and urban. It is an American way of death.”
