Thank you for that.
ReplyDelete“Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are here tonight, and we must remember that music is the — one of the beautiful things of life. So we have to try to keep the music alive some kind of way. And maybe music can help. I don't know, but we have to try something these days, right?” Sonny Rollins, before a concert, September 15, 2001.
And thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis quote is great.
I'd actually gone to the orchestra the night of the attacks in Paris, and the conductor addressed the audience--(I'd never seen that before)--and said pretty much the same thing Sonny Rollins says here.
