[Harp-L] You can't steal a gift

[Sergei <svolkov@xxxxxxxxx>]

A very cool quote from that article:

start quote

"You can't steal a gift." Dizzy Gillespie, defending another player
who'd been accused of poaching Charlie Parker's style: "You can't
steal a gift. Bird gave the world his music, and if you can hear it
you can have it.''

end quote
