I Don't Know What Would Have Happened

Music Is The Chalk To The Blackboard Of Life. Without It Everything Is A Blank Slate

When I'm Having A Rehearsal And There Are New Guys Who Come In To Try Out For The Job, I Always Let My Conductor Rehearse Them. Because I Don't Want The Guy To Get Bent Out Of Shape, Because I Walk In.

I Never Wanted To Be Famous. I Only Wanted To Be Great.

My Music Had Roots Which I'd Dug Up From My Own Childhood, Musical Roots Buried In The Darkest Soil.

Music's Been Around A Long Time, And There's Going To Be Music Long After Ray Charles Is Dead. I Just Want To Make My Mark, Leave Something Musically Good Behind. If It's A Big Record, That's The Frosting On The Cake, But Music's The Main Meal.
