For those of you who doubted my bass playing ability, here’s me making music.
It’s called “When winter comes”
It’s electric.
Grades don’t mean shit.
When you give in that resume no one is really going to ask, “Hey how’d you do in college?” No one cares.
I got really good grades for a while before, didn’t do shit for me. Stopped paying attention to that false sense of urgency that told me to get a number that meant nothing, my mind opened up.
Hey, I’m not saying that this is for you because if it isn’t and you want to play number games, good for you. I just prefer to get what I need out of education and move along, to gather what I see as real and not a bunch of bullshit.
That said, I do well in classes that keep my interest, of course.

Orval E. Faubus was the governor of Arkansas in 1957 and against desegregation. He sent the National Guard to prevent black children from attending high school in Little Rock.The song was first recorded for Mingus’ 1959 album, Mingus Ah Um. Columbia refused to allow the lyrics to the song to be included, and so the song was recorded as an instrumental on the album. It was not until October 20, 1960 that the song was recorded with lyrics, for the album Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus, which was released on the more independent Candid label.
