Jon Bon Jovi, speaking to Jordin Sparks:


"You're 17 years old. Man, when I was 17 I probably couldn't sing half as good as you"

Just curious...

I wonder at what age Jon figures he tipped the half-way point?

"Music can be made anywhere, is invisible, and does not smell."
W.H.Auden

You can't really argue with any of that, can you?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

There used to be a quote on the back of the Pete Seeger 5 String Banjo book where somebody asked a banjo player if he could read music...

"Not enough to hurt my playing"

One of my favourites:

"SWANS SING BEFORE THEY DIE,- 'T WERE NO BAD THING SHOULD CERTAIN PERSONS DIE BEFORE THEY SING."      S. T. Coleridge

Hope it doesn't apply to any of you lot!

Hello,

I like the Louis Armstrong quote where he says, "All music is folk music! I ain't never heard a horse sing!"

Best wishes,

Peter
