Music teaches you to fail. Failure teaches success. Music teaches you structure, and where you must play the ink on the page, and where you can solo and burst into your own song. Music, the theory of it, the analytical part of it, helps a lot.

James McBride:
How did you and your siblings go from being beaten as a child to such a loving an appreciative relationship with your mother? This felt like a missing piece in The Color of Water.
