I've been your slave Ever since I've been your babe But before I be your dog I'll see you in your grave. - Billie Holiday

Some men like me talkin' happy
Some calls it snappy
Some call me honey
Others think I got money
Some tell me baby you're built for speed
Now if you put that all together
Makes me everything a good man needs.

No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music.

I can’t stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain’t music, it’s close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.
