If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.” - Charlie Parker ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -The invisible hand that shapes our thoughts and emotions, that leads us to acts of pure romance and aids our hands in uncontstrained violence. Music inspires new thought, inspiring the greatest of minds to new heights. Music encourages exploration to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, and human soul. Music is the fabric that interweaves our lives, and provides audible expression to emotions too deep to communicate through words. Music is the translation of life into sound. - Aaron Bedell |
