"I opened the Woodstock Festival even though I was supposed to be fifth. I said, 'What am I doing here? No, no, not me, not first!' I had to go on stage because there was no one else to go on first - the concert was already two-and-a-half hours late."

"You don’t get harmony when everyone sings the same note."
-Doug Floyd
No idea who Dough Floyd is/was. This works in a musical context of course, not sure about a philosophical one!
These guys' harmonies ... love, love ...

"Music, for me, has always been a place where anything is possible--a refuge, a magical world where anyone can go, where all kinds of people can come together, and anything can happen. We are limited only by our imaginations."

"In Andalucia, when I play, the audience at some times, will say 'Ole' all at once. If they don't say 'Ole', it means that you have played like shit."
-Paco de Lucia
^Can’t imagine that happened too often! R.I.P. Paco – this is so very beautiful … the second movement from Concierto de Aranjuez (aka Concerto d’Orangejuice in some irreverent circles ) …

You can waste a whole lifetime
Trying to be
What you think is expected of you
But you'll never be free
May as well go fishing
-CHRIS REA from "Gone Fishing"
Profound words indeed, IMHO …

"Before you play two notes, learn how to play one note, you know – it’s as simple as that, really. And don’t play one note unless you’ve got a reason to play it."

In case I don't get to the Born on this Day department on time - Happy Birthday to Roderick David Stewart who is quoted as saying ...
"Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and just give her a house."
Not sure if that was after his most recent divorce but I suspect not. The man is an incorrigible serial monogamist.
Saw him in concert way back when - he put on a helluva show - still have the 'programme'!!

"Very often my songs, whether it’s me or the voice of a character, are about navigating tough waters while keeping the shore within sight."

One of my favourite clips and songs from GLP. Just perfect ... makes me want to frame it ...
