My Cheetos mumble in which had no alertness. But my Cheetah was still in the front with grass yellow living at the front power. But the real power was behind. And that was Mario. You. Are.
Being given that. But you probably. Didn't want the name. Is it ever present. And I'm waffle.
Depending. If. Mary was born in the work of any Cuban. And for a
Cuban who to make it at the top of any profession she had it feel not only disciplined but the best in his field. And. The godparents. Gave him the discipline that was needed. And by the time he was 16 he was already a season and a clarinetist and playing for the Havana symphony. Once the Americans started buying businesses in Havana and other the provinces of Cuba they started replacing the CU games with white American jazz bands. And he saw that most of the jobs in the hotels in the academies in the white districts of Cuba were given to one or more like the musicians. I used to play and where is my class. Oh.
Yes of course. Now we're used to play stock arrangements. Not even our own a restaurant or maybe music. We were supposed to be the star band and if you were musicians were related to second class status it's hard to say that that happened to me and I had to work in the band and I was the only black. There playing endless swanky places and making up with us. The day after I left. In the beginning to get it the drug began I caught up with the one the begins when they get a musician and I was there. And they used to say that given that we don't have one uses and it lays you to say that look funny. I was a young gator with about 15 years old then. We should see the picture man the orderly while does that mean that meeting here being there the. PRESS. And the band leader called me one day. He's a merry I'm going to have no idea who he is and what is he said the YOU'RE
BUSY the advertisement the awful feeling Merissa you always either give this a prelim arre you see there being the uni only using a yeah yeah seen them how you like to wear that I said log on web proxy like you in the end of a name and a class equals just like you and I want you to do that for the Mars Rover I will send for them are set meals here. So you think you had a blue oval all by themselves. What do you recommend. That people get that are not so not eating and they put any of you know what the ammo might wonder they think. They. Don't know what I pulled down.
The 1926 when he came here would Antonio my hero move to make that recording to RCA. He discovered Harlem. Harlem he saw that the blacks were congregated. They had business news. They had their run. Their own nightlife. And there was no interference. And he liked that. And. This will always remain on his mind when he went back to Cuba. He started to say. Speaking of months with his childhood princes Someday I'm going to go there live. There and the bomb all fit in and go do in a week engagement for white. Ball one of the King of the yes. Now the head of live here. I was really press that I stayed there for. The night of running one of the club in that. Place and so this is a base orchestra
and they had a satchel brand name from it and they had nothing. My life so I said just me I got to play such. A sad song but you will make. It when I get back to America and that it will lead. I was a saxophone player. When you stop writing. As if it's a pain by name on my chain. Yes the August when they came to America and the Big Bang. But you had a good side. Yes I'm in the board of a big. Band returned to. Let you know how I look from the. Recent what I will do now going or recording with what dead because Trump is the main thing is on a one to do
it all and hoping to hear nothing. I think that. Is. What he believes. Listen to we have.

I got it the two hiding place in my room with a lot of well the lesson wouldn't that that this is. For you Tracy gave it. But every time I've been hanging around the Savoy about it I was and be in their brain of the war
it was a good trick where with the river used when I when I'd come in when I come in from what I'd come shoot at straight for stand in front of Baz stand I know yet that she can see me with my heart hear me break with Freddie. Then he said Come on. And I grew up understanding because I read well yeah that's right. So I played in this and then he let me play it's like absorbing the wood now as it will not keep. I never understood that where I was and we wanted to trick and you know he was such a big star you know I didn't I was scared to even speak to him. And then I met my you. Lewdly. Will.
Lose. The little. Friendly Cab Calloway. And and so. Now you're. Reading to. Me. He's there and I think I might have a job where I would stab Galloway. That is you dream of every black musician and New York as a play with Cab Calloway the best money doing. I think it is a sparrow with more to come to the OP and more new I've played with Cab Calloway and me. So now you'll say OK we're. We're playing of the kind from. It was a conspiracy. The truth is that I want to send you down there in my place. You take the solos and I got a job. I didn't ask how much I was made and I had thought of it when than I thought and
that's when I joined and when they bought me an account. That. Was. All over. The. World. Oh. My. God. What. Do.

So they don't move didn't know nothing about his news is that you don't want the water but. I write. What I want you to do. Is they'll just trade. To get the sound. Of the big. Bang. Just be. There to get out he says. They will go. Slowly. AS.
If they were playing. The guys in the band want to break down just a wooden resin. Let's play. Was that what was going on was. Saul. There was a voice.
