Briggs' Blues in A minor

'The years I spent working for the old Blue Book were invaluable to me. I think the stuff I did was awful, …

but it was different. In those years, I was trying to learn, …

and the Blue Book editor Don Kennicott allowed me to experiment. …

He respected the potential he saw. …

I could do about any kind of picture for him, and he would accept it.'

~ Austin Briggs
