Famous Quotes & Sayings

John Bush

It just wasn't in my heart. I figured I had been in this band 12 and a half years, and we felt positive about what we had done, and we all thought our last album, 'We've Come for You All' , was the best record we'd made together. So I just wanted to move forward and do another album.

It turns out to be a sick sound. Every member of the band has their main instrument and one or two other things that can go on at the same time. It's like playing a couple different instruments at once, and we're all doing that.

It was 1999 at a Halloween show in New Orleans when I first got the bug for Giant People. I was on stage, and my hearing went out, and all I could see was this Giant People band. That's when I realized I had to do what Karl was doing, compose, write and be a band leader.

They wrote themselves out of the band history, as far as I'm concerned. They should have a little bit of honor. This is supposed to be rock 'n' roll. This is supposed to be friendly. This is like going through the trenches together.

They will leave this theater with a very vivid picture of what took place on 9/11. Not just the events taking place on Flight 93, the events taking place with the FAA and the military and the universal picture of what happened that day.

It's going to grow. Most festivals take three to five years to get there. You've got to introduce the local people to bluegrass. A lot of them wouldn't know a local band from a headliner. If we can hang in there for five years, we'll see a lot bigger crowd.

Max Baucus

It's going to pass. It just depends on when that willful band of three or four senators is going to recognize that.

John Tesh

Big band music, to me, it really has three key elements. First is the lyrics are really sweet, and they're just really family-friendly. The second thing is the music is jazz music, so the music is complicated enough to hold your attention for 5 or 6 million plays. That makes the songs interesting. The last part is the fact that it's danceable.
