Oh, my brother, poor Michael, my brother taught me how to read and the rest was just from habit. I, you know I have such a good ear I can play classical music without reading it. But you finally get tricked with that, they put something in that, if I heard it first... this carnival, all the old trumpet players hated me and they were out to get me and they did it. One day the first trumpet player... would play for us, was sick, so they said and they didn't show up for rehearsal. And the cats said ok Eldridge you take this part. I didn't know what... the animals....so I jived around and then we started off playing the thing. I figures I could say well I don't think somebody, somebody's not playing their part, can I hear that? That was where I give myself away. They said no you ain't you play it, play your part. So then I just said I can't read ...
