Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom.  If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.

-- Charlie Parker

 

We are the music-makers,

     And we are the dreamers of dreams,

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,

     And sitting by desolate streams.

-- A. O'Shaughnessy

 

Without music life would be a mistake.

-- Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
