It was about being independent from other people's opinions. It was a little like blues - it also spoke about the price of freedom. The general message seemed to be: if I do this or that it's just my business even if it leads to a disaster; I have a right to learn all by myself. I did enjoy it because the text was really meaningful.Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14280850702811721560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255928.post-63059665591464960702008-03-23T12:43:00.000+00:002008-03-23T12:43:00.000+00:00I hate Jazz normally, but I love Ella!Happy Easter...I hate Jazz normally, but I love Ella!<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter Rob!hesitant scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882920406681074895noreply@blogger.com
