Signature Lines and One Liners

[lucey]

There are a number of insightful and inspiring Signature lines and quoteable one liners (or 2 liners!) that come and go from these boards. The really good ones seem like I'll never forget em, yet they're so hard to remember!

The koan or aphorism is a tradition in many schools.

Let's make this thread a nice long list of these tidbits as they relate to what we do. We don't have to all agree that the thing is perfect wisdom ... but let's go for it and see what kind of a list of ideas we have here.



Here's one:

"Studios used to be far too expensive for most of us to own. Recording was all about preparation, rising to the occasion and going with the flow because there was never enough money to get things precisely the way we wanted. Often what we wanted wasn't as good as what we wound up getting.

Exceeding our expectations left us in awe of our own recordings because they pretty much always took on a life of their own."

Bob O
