It took me a long time to reach the decision to retire, actually, from the Art Ensemble.
My family actually lived in the same village for about 400 years. They had great stability until the last century. People lived and intermarried in small villages.
Everybody has a language or code that they use with their wife or their girlfriend or boyfriend or what have you. It's a language aside from the language they have with strangers. I've always been maybe an abuser of alliteration, but I've always loved it and I like how those words sound together.
