If I can’t play music, what am I gonna do? Music keeps people sane. When you enjoy yourself, most of the time the people who are listening to you enjoy it.Zoot Sims
My life has always been my music, it’s always come first, but the music ain’t worth nothing if you can’t lay it on the public. The main thing is to live for that audience, ’cause what you’re there for is to please the people.Louis Armstrong
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 Thomson
