Excerpt from Lyrics From Cotton Land The story of a rare, gifted soul is difficult to write. The commonplace man is usually the re sultant of forces that can be calculated. The measuring line can be laid to his life; dates, places and movements assume great significance. But it is not so with the man who approaches genius.
