"...But God’s got a funny soul, he plays like Charlie Parker..." - Charles Mingus

“Life has many changes. Tomorrow it may rain and it’s supposed to be sunshine ‘cause it’s summertime. But God’s got a funny soul, he plays like Charlie Parker. He may run some thunder on you, he may take the sun and put it in the nighttime—the way it looks to me.” - Charles Mingus
