 ~inspirational sayings about Basketball quotes by Darryl Dawkins

 ~basketball quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

   Today they build studios with almost complete isolation on each musician. They sit in little cages and listen on headphones. In my opinion, that's not so good for the creative process. We used to gather around the piano, run over the tunes a few times, and the musicians would get ideas for fills or for rhythm licks, and that was more fun. I know that still goes on, but it's not the same
