Steel Guitars

Famous quotes containing the words steel and/or guitars:

    Through joy and blindness he shall know,
    Not caring much to know, that still
    Nor lead nor steel shall reach him,
    Julian Grenfell (1888–1915)

    The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.”
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
