Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or music:

    “I come from a long line of male chauvinists in a very traditional family. To rebel against my background, I didn’t shoot dope—I married a working woman.”
    —Joe Bologna (20th century)

    “The music stopp’d, and I stood still,
    And found myself outside the Hill,
    Left alone against my will,
    To go now limping as before,
    And never hear of that country more!””
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)
