I've done what I've done but it's not enough. I'm a student of jazz and there's just so much more to learn.

[Fats Waller's talent outstripped even his girth. He was the most celebrated of all stride pianists, the first jazz musician to record on the organ, the composer of hundreds of songs and a master singer and showman who could find high comedy in the most mundane pop tunes.] Some little people have music in them, ... but Fats was all music, and you know how big he was.

With four of us there, we were heard.

He was easy to coach. I wish I could have had him for four years instead of one.

We had several guys step up and show us that they'll be able to give us some big innings. They did an outstanding job. We need our pitchers to keep us in the game. We hit some balls well over the weekend, but we've got a long to go offensively. We'll work on that all through the off-week.

I was pleased with our effort. We played hard. We didn't play smart, but it's good to get back on the winning track.
