Understand what?

In the army I played in the band and was the only white guy in the RA barracks for a couple of months. Too, I was a jazz drummer, and played in bands where color did not matter as no one paid any attention to it. I have been the only white man in a black (unlicensed) night club where I had the pleasure of seeing and listening to Lionel Hampton play.

Perhaps we musicians are different...
