Hee Haw was probably my biggest exposure to live music at a young age, because there wasn't any live music around my town and no one in my family played instruments.
Alan Jackson

How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.
Alan Watts

I believe God rules all by his divine providence and that the stars by his permission are instruments.
William Lilly

I came from an era when we didn't use electronic instruments. The bass wasn't even amplified. The sound was the sound you got.
Stan Getz

I definitely don't subscribe to the theory that more instruments, or more vocal tracks, harmony, or double tracking the voice, is a good thing. People do their early albums very stripped down, then each album becomes bloated.
Joanna Newsom

I didn't follow the standard rules of bass playing, and many musicians on many different instruments who became noteworthy for their unique or particular style did a very similar thing.
Billy Sheehan

I don't want to write any more for the old Man-power instruments and am handicapped by the lack of adequate electrical instruments for which I now conceive my music.
Edgard Varese

I dream of instruments obedient to my thought and which with their contribution of a whole new world of unsuspected sounds, will lend themselves to the exigencies of my inner rhythm.
Edgard Varese

I enjoy singing, and the instruments which truly move me are the horn, the trumpet and the cello.
Roger Bannister

I had been playing for about a year and a half when the Beach Boys formed. When our folks went to Mexico on business, we would take the food money they had left us and we would rent instruments.
Carl Wilson

I had been playing single note instruments and I wanted to hear a guitar played as a piano.
Leo Kottke

I have a piano and a guitar, and I tend to switch back and forth between those two instruments to help me get inspired.
Sean Lennon

I have just begun a work in which an important part is given to a large chorus and with it I want to use several of your instruments - augmenting their range as in those I used for my Equatorial - especially in the high range.
Edgard Varese

I have the instruments, ideas, technology, computer techniques. We try to create or see something, which has not been known before - just to discover something together. This is always my dream.
Lennart Nilsson

I just have some restaurants to just go and eat there. Do mean places to watch people? I like to go shopping look for guitars and stuff with my friends. Look at Meyer, great old instruments, talk about pedals and stuff.
Jason Schwartzman

I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass.
Billy Sheehan

I mean, on the food chain, do instruments really rate? I don't think so.
Peabo Bryson

I mix Indian instruments with Western instruments all the time.
Satyajit Ray

I play, like, 12 instruments. Guitar, piano, harmonica, African drums... I'm working on mastering the accordion.
Lucas Grabeel

I record all of my music with authentic instruments in a studio before we start editing, doing many, many versions. The music shapes the film as we edit so it has an organic relationship to the content.
Ken Burns
