“Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.”
Herbie Hancock
“Let a short Act of Parliament be passed, placing all street musicians outside the protection of the law, so that any citizen may assail them with stones, sticks, knives, pistols or bombs without incurring any penalties.”
George Bernard Shaw
“He is not all musician; he is also part bus conductor in charge of a moving vehicle [who] dutifully hurries people off and onto it at designated intervals.”
Christopher Andreae
“It's a story that has not been told, the story of the daily musician,”
Eugene Rodriguez
“My intention always has been to arrive at human contact without enforcing authority. A musician, after all, is not a military officer. What matter most is human contact. The great mystery of making music requires real friendship among those who work together. Every member of the orchestra knows I am with him and her in my heart.”
Carlos Maria Giulini
“Our goal is to have top- notch performers with top- notch music, not here-today- gone-tomorrow musicians. How long can we take the repetition of what's popular right now? What makes great music possible is the songs.”
Charlie Tucker
“It would be hard to be a singer, musician or have ears and not be an admirer of my dad, ... I can only say that now that I'm older, because growing up, I thought I was biased. I thought it was just me. Now I see that he left his mark on the world.”
