Frank Sinatra
“Never look at the trombones, it only encourages them.”
Richard Wagner
“I don't want to be just a straight pop singer. I'm a vocalist and that's what I want to be seen as in the long run.”
Christina Aguilera
“Alcatraz, the federal prison with a name like the blare of a trombone, is a black molar in the jawbone of the nation's prison system.”
