The Trombone Is Too Sacred For Frequent

First And Foremost An Artist Should Pay Homage To Grandness, Honour And Bow To It, And Not Try To Extinguish The Fierce Flames Of Such, In An Attempt To Have His Own Feeble Light Shine Brighter. When One Isn't Able To Acknowledge Greatness, I Would Really Want To Know How He Endeavours To Make Me Experience It.

Though Everything Else May Appear Shallow And Repulsive, Even The Smallest Task In Music Is So Absorbing, And Carries Us So Far Away From Town, Country, Earth, And All Worldly Things, That It Is Truly A Blessed Gift Of God.

It's Not That Music Is Too Imprecise For Words, But Too Precise.

And Here We Come To The Vital Distinction Between The Advocacy Of Temperance And The Advocacy Of Prohibition. Temperance And Self-control Are Convertible Terms. Prohibition, Or That Which It Implies, Is The Direct Negation Of The Term Self-control. In Order To Save The Small Percentage Of Men Who Are Too Weak To Resist Their Animal Desires, It Aims To Put Chains On Every Man, The Weak And The Strong Alike. And If This Is Proper In One Respect, Why Not In All Respects? Yet, What Would One Think Of A Proposition To Keep All Men Locked Up Because A Certain Number Have A Propensity To Steal?

People Usually Complain That Music Is So Ambiguous, And What They Are Supposed To Think When They Hear It Is So Unclear, While Words Are Understood By Everyone. But For Me It Is Exactly The Opposite...what The Music I Love Expresses To Me Are Thoughts Not To Indefinite For Words, But Rather Too Definite.
