Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...
Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...
And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...

Thanks for reading. And if you enjoy these little sayings I send out, take a look at my site, http://TankJones.com and take a look at my blogs. You can also see a lot of pics of events I've done, music I've made and learn about my foundation.
So you chose Stevie and Herbie! Hell, this is what I calls the music! I believe very strong that heaven sends us some people with extraordinary talent for give us joy and happiness, don't you think so? Can you imagine musical world without such people? This is impossible.
You know, I was in one of Herbie Hancock concert and it was the most amazing musical experience in my life. His whole band was from another planet. And the first time I heared a drummer who PLAYED. He didn't hit but he just played, if you know what I mean.
And what do you think about classic piano masters like Count Basie or Erroll Garner? Well, I really regret I couldn't take a pic with you in Bucharest, hehe. There was so much hurry so that's why I missed you. Did you record any CD? Where can I buy it?

Dear Mr. Brown, thanks for the last nice message! Even such short sentence from you makes me happy, for real. I have a question - can you tell me, who is or who was your greatest musical inspiration? Do you have someone who influenced on your life-way choice? Have a wonderful Sunday. Please, give my regards also to your friend with who you were in Bucharest ;-) Take care, Marika
