“The music is not in the notes,
but in the silence between.”

 “What's even worse than a flute? - Two flutes!”
  --- Maybe Mozart...

 Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art.
--- Charlie Parker (Bird knows, man. Bird knows.)

Without Elvis, none of us could have made it.
--- Buddy Holly (This may not be entirely true, but it sounds good.)

Without music, life would be a mistake.
--- Friedrich Nietzsche (Good ol' Nietzsche.  Telling it like it is.)

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.
--- Frank Zappa (This is how I feel much of the time.)

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
--- Hunter S. Thompson (Thompson sort of said this.  It wasn't originally penned about the music business, but it sums it up nicely.)
