—Tom Waits
"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it."
—Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding
"As long as I have energy, I'll keep going.
What else can I do? Music is my life."
—Sonny Rollins
