| Ah let 'em roll like a big wheel
In a Georgia cotton field Honey hush Come in this house, stop all that yackety yack
Well, you keep on jabberin', you talk about this and that
Turn off the waterworks, baby, they don't move me no more
Honey hush |
| Chains of love, has tied my heart to you
Chains of love, have made me feel so blue Well, now I'm your prisoner, tell me what you're gonna do Are you gonna leave me, are you gonna make me cry
Well, if you're gonna leave me, please won't you set me free
Well, three 'o clock in the morning, baby the moon is shining bright

| Miles Davis once said that music
was "a curse" from him because he thought of nothing else while he was
awake. Music was his life. But it wasn't always the passion of his life.
At first, Miles wanted to be a baseball player and than a doctor, like
his father, who
was a dentist. But after his father gave him his first trumpet, at the age of 11, all young Miles wanted to do was learn to play the golden horn better. He practiced for hours everyday and when he entered Lincoln High School, in East St. Louis, Illinois, where he grew up, he became the trumpet star of the band. East St. Louis is on the Mississippi River, across from St. Louis, Missouri and riverboats use to travel from New Orleans, up to St. Louis carrying people like trains and airplanes do today. These riverboats employed great jazz musicians to play for their passengers, and when the boats docked in St. Louis, Miles, after he became a musician would travel across the river to hear and meet many of them. |
| My theme that I am using is the word of Freedom. This relates to the book on how Fredrick Douglass wanted to stop being a slave and explore the whole world and be able to do everything that all of dreams has wanted him to do. This theme is another word for blues because when people sing the blues they are being free and let everything come out and let the words and feelings be free. | |
