“At the risk of being a fuddy-duddy I don't have a computer; I don't ha...” — Marian McPartland Quote

At the risk of being a fuddy-duddy I don't have a computer; I don't have e-mail; and I really don't need something in my house that I would be sitting in front of for hours.

I have a West Coast rhythm section and a New York rhythm section. I've got them spread out all over the place.

I would really hate to have e-mail. It's bad enough with all the mail I get.

That's something Mary Lou Williams used to tell me: If you're not feeling right about what you're doing and you play a minor tune it all comes back, falls into place. I don't know if that's true, but I do it.

I like minor tunes.

The personal computer can be a virtual device.

I can't even imagine writing nonfiction by hand. I think if I didn't have a computer, I just couldn't do it. Maybe it's a brain-section issue.

What it is now is basically I'll sit on my computer; I basically kind of play the computer as an instrument, I guess you could say. I guess I play the Mac.

I hate the computer. I hate their spell-check. I won't ever do e-mail.

Yes, I've won prizes for putting words on a computer.
