“He [Groucho's father] had absolutely no training, and if you had ever seen one of his suits, you'd realize what an accurate statement that is. You see, Pop never used a tape measure. He didn't believe in it. He said he could just look at a man and tell his size, with the result that frequently he'd make a pair of pants with one trouser leg seven or eight inches longer than the other.” IfsMenBelieveLooksSaidUsedFatherRealizingTrainingPopsStatementsSuitsTapeAccurateSuits You Author:Groucho Marx
“If you are recording, you are recording. I don't believe there is such a thing as a demo or a temporary vocal. The drama around even sitting in the car and singing into a tape recorder that's as big as your hand - waiting until it's very quiet, doing your thing, and then playing it back and hoping you like it - is the same basic anatomy as when you're in the recording studio, really. Sometimes it's better that way because some of the pressure is off and you can pretend it's throwaway.” IfsWayBelieveSometimesHandsBigsWaitingCarDramaQuietSingingSittingPressureDon't BelieveStudiosTemporaryTapeVocalYou Like ItAnatomyRecordersDemosRecording Studio Author:Tom Waits
