"I bought a tenor but I haven't dedicated the time to it, plus I haven't found a mouthpiece that I like as of yet.

After doing it for the alto, I just haven't felt like looking for any more mouthpieces. You play both, right?"

-- Charles McPherson

But I did know that I had all that it is proper in this world to wish for.”

“Coleridge cried; "O God, how glorious it is to live!" Renan asks, "O God, when will it be worth while to live?" In Nature we echo the poet; in the world we echo the thinker.”
