Members WRGKMC Posted May 6, 2015 Members Share Posted May 6, 2015 A painter paint pictures on Canvas - A musician paints pictures on Silence - Leopold Stokowski “If one should desire to know whether a kingdom is well governed, if its morals are good or bad, the quality of its music will furnish the answer.” Confucius Music is what feelings sound like. - Bo Bennitt Music is a higher revelation then all Wisdom and Philosophy. - Beethoven Somebody said to me the Beatles were Anti- Materialistic. That's a huge myth. John and I used to sit down and say "Now, Lets write a swimming pool" - Paul McCartney I’ve never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life may have in store for you, music itself is not going to let you down - Virgil Thompson Music is the purest form of art... therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in terms of music... The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life.

Phil O'Keefe Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Not all of these are from musicians, but they're all musically relevant IMO: "It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine." Wayne Campbell (Wayne's World) "Never had one lesson!" - Ferris Bueller (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) "All I’ve got is a red guitar, three chords and the truth." - Bob Dylan, All Along The Watchtower "I quote John Lennon: 'I don't believe in Beatles. I just believe in me.' A good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off of people." -Ferris Bueller (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) "We were the biggest nickers in town. Plagiarists extraordinaire" - Paul McCartney "It shouldn't be expected that people are necessarily doing what they appear to be doing on records."- Sir George Martin, All You Need Is Ears "The music business will be revitalized by musicians, not the labels or Live Nation. When the musicians decide to put music first, instead of money, the public will flock to the fruits and the scene will be healthy again." - Bob Lefsetz, The Lefsetz Letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WRGKMC Posted May 15, 2015 Members Share Posted May 15, 2015 Some Quotes by the King. RIP The way I feel today, as long as my health is good and I can handle myself well and people still come to my concerts, still buy my CDs, I'll keep playing until I feel like I can't. B. B. King When you don't have much money, you worry that they'll just put you in the ground someplace and your loved ones won't know where you are. B. B. King It seems like I always had to work harder than other people. Those nights when everybody else is asleep, and you sit in your room trying to play scales. B. B. King I don't like to feel like I owe anything. I like to feel that I pay my own way - There's no free lunch. B. B. King I tried to connect my singing voice to my guitar an' my guitar to my singing voice. Like the two was talking to one another. B. B. King When people treat you mean, you dislike them for that, but not because of their person, who they are. I was born and raised in a segregated society, but when I left there, I had nobody I disliked other than the people that'd mistreated me, and that only lasted for as long as they were mistreating me. B. B. King I never wanted to be like other blues singers. I might like hearing them play, but I've never wanted to be anyone other than myself. There are a few people that I've wished I could play like, but when I tried, it didn't work. B. B. King A lot of people believe what other people say. B. B. King Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy's playing blues like we play, he's in high school. When he starts playing jazz it's like going on to college, to a school of higher learning. B. B. King I just wonder where I was when the talent was being given out, like George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Eric Clapton... oh, there's many more! I wouldn't want to be like them, you understand, but I'd like to be equal, if you will. B. B. King I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed. B. B. King If you can't get your songs to people one way, you have to find another. B. B. King I don't try to just be a blues singer - I try to be an entertainer. That has kept me going. B. B. King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
