[Dixielandjazz] Mystical and Magical feelings while playing jazz

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

Why do you think we keep doing this?  The money isn't that good so it's that 
feeling we get when things happen.  I hope I never get so old that the magic 
quits happening.  I am just so happy people keep paying me to get my jazz 
fix on a more or less regular basis and like sex --- it's always good but 
sometimes it's spectacular.
