The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto Quotes

“This, by the way, is hardly the first time one of your has discouraged one of min. If I possessed a metal link for every tongue-clucking human who said a child was too young, the instrument too large, or the very idea of pursuing music was "a waste of time," I could wrap your world in chains. Disapproving parents, dismissive record executives, vindictive critics. sometimes I think the greatest talents of all is perserverance.”

El Maestro: No, you will not. you will make them hear the beauty of what you are offering, and they will want it for themselves.”
