Jeff (Page) left after ordsprog

Jeff (Page) left after the hurricane and was gone for six weeks. We found James and he did an awesome job. Learned 40-something songs in a matter of days.

He learned through the way that my father and I felt about his songs, his country songs, that they were great songs. And then he went out and sang them for the audiences that we found, and he found a tremendous reaction to that.

Alan Lomax (1915-2002)

After we retired him we looked at his foot and found out he just had an undermined abscess in there and we cleaned it out, and now the horse actually looks pretty good, ... As a matter of fact, if the Breeders Cup was just another couple weeks away, we could probably run him in it. Stud farms are interested in him, but we left the window open a little bit. He actually could have a lot of racing left in him.

James Lewis and those other kids in '78, '79 and '80 laid the groundwork for our state championship teams. But especially James. The kids that followed learned from him. We all did. He always came to practice prepared, practiced like it was game night and was better in the fourth quarter than he was in the first. He left an impression.

Both (Hefner and Davenport) played well. Jeff did a nice job on the glass. James kind of found his stroke tonight.

I've learned that my people are not the only ones oppressed.. . . I have sung my songs all over the world and everywhere found that some common bond makes the people of all lands take to Negro songs as their own.

Paul Robeson (1898-1976)

The songs are not meant to be real life. They're meant to have a psychic - rather than a factual - bearing on the listener. It's rare that a song grounded in reality moves me because I don't feel like I'm getting the whole story. Songs are made to exist in and of themselves, like a great James Jones or Robert Louis Stevenson novel - they're not autobiographical, and yet there's a reality in every single page. It's real life of the imagination.

Let's hope that the hurricane does not hit at a Category 4 strength and let's hope the lessons we've learned - the painful, tragic lessons that have been learned in the last few weeks - will best prepare us for what could happen with Rita.

Nothing would please me more than watching James for two weeks, .. She was drawn to the intriguing mystery surrounding his pe𝑥y character. . I'd be doing backflips if James is playing for two weeks.

[And it might be] more like two weeks, ... It could take another four or five days. ... It's tough to take that bat out of the lineup. It's a lot like early in the season when we lost Jeff Bagwell in May.

We never really had collaborated [with outside musicians] before Howard left. It's been great, ever since Jeff joined. But I think there was a slight sense if we record as just the four of us, will it be as strong as it was when it was a quartet with Howard, with a guy who played five or six instruments constantly? I think as we played with the role of the saxophone and all of the different instruments that Jeff plays in the band, and all the band has learned to expand into the holes, we know how to play as a quartet now in a way that I think is as powerful as it was originally, and maybe more so in some cases.

[The original 20 songs in his repertoire he hoped to record were whittled down with Sutherland's help to a selection that kept the tone of the songs and the subject matter into a cohesive album list.] Basically the songs I most wanted to get out there were more spiritual in subject matter and were more traditional in feel, ... We tossed out the ones that felt more contemporary, even if they also dealt with spiritual issues.

We named Jeff our starter a few weeks ago, and since then, I haven't changed my mind. Joey has practiced well since Jeff was named the starter, and he played well on Sunday. But we need to see if Jeff freshens up this week or not.

James probably doesn't know this, but he's inspired us. We have all learned so much from James. Facing adversity, coming back and just putting everything in perspective. People can easily get down, especially about the smallest things.
