There’s no need for sheet music, practice, or a crowd. Just a nice atmosphere where the blowing can get loud. They open with a rocker, to get in the proper groove. Each cat wails a solo and plays til he wants to move. The drummer rides the cymbal, and the pianist comps chords. The bass sets a beat, and the horns rock the boards. The audience is serene, except for an occasional clap. But everyone feels the music, as feet steadily tap. No one gets boisterous, but each maintains his cool. The sounds are provoking, but calm ness is a session rule. Into the wee wee hours, the musi cians blow their gig. They play at many tempos, speeds anyone can dig. They play one last long one, leav ing the audience aghast. This being the finale, the session is over at last. —Alzo 8. Who governor or sas? 9.

STAUNCH REALIZATION I cannot forever forsake Thee, God, And my soul be not weary, but still; For 1 am driven by the chastening rod, T o firmly know that Thou art real. Appearances to the mind are of What food hath logic for the hungry four kinds. Things either are what soul? they appear to be; or they neither Or what can science build for me are, nor appear to be; or they are, | after death? and do not appear to be; or they are These things are not used to seek the not, and yet appear to be. Rightly j Ultimate goal, to aim in all these cases is the wise But for better life and relationship man’s task. —Epictetus; here on earth.
