"The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another… and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world." "Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable." More In Music "I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’."― Bob Newhart "I found music to be the therapy of choice."― David Byrne "Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven."― Henri Frederic Amiel
