Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “If you really believe music is dangerous, you should let it go in one ear and out the other.”
    —José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    “Since a man must bring
    To music what his mother spanked him for
    When he was two ...”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
