Milton Mesirow (November 9, 1899 – August 5, 1972), better known as Mezz Mezzrow, was an American jazz clarinetist and saxophonist from Chicago, Illinois. He is remembered for organizing and financing recording sessions with Tommy Ladnier and Sidney Bechet. He recorded with Bechet as well and briefly acted as manager for Louis Armstrong. Mezzrow is equally known as a colorful character, as portrayed in his autobiography, Really the Blues (which takes its title from a Bechet composition), co-written with Bernard Wolfe and published in 1946. more »

The cross
It was forged by the massive
Iron of armor that was worn by evil itself
Standing alone and forgotten
Beyond the mountains where darkness always reigns
The evil never left the armor
When it was forged into a cross
It's dwelling inside, awaiting the moment
To set all its evil free
Never! Kneel in front of this cross
And never uncover your head
Because if you do! You have sold your soul
To the burning depths of hell
A faithless warrior, returning from the war
With nothing but a wish to die
He's marked by shame and dishonor
Searching for a reason to live
Salvation from God and peace in soul
Was the solution that might end the pain
So, he knelt by the cross
Uncovered his head
And whispered his silent forgiveness
A pilgrim appeared! From the shadows of the night
Telling him the story about the cross
Then he realized what he'd done to himself
But it was too late, his soul was marked by hell
Facing the cross of torment
Face! The shadow
Can't break free from the jaws of the cross
Tremble! With fear
Knowing that his fate is sealed
It was forged by the massive
Iron of armor that was worn by evil itself
Standing alone and forgotten
Beyond the mountains where darkness always reigns
The evil never left the armor
When it was forged into a cross
It's dwelling inside, awaiting the moment
To set all its evil free
Never! Kneel in front of this cross
And never uncover your head
Because If You Do! You have sold your soul
To the burning depths of hell
Facing the cross of torment
