“A lot of cats in New Orleans, very soulful, very soulful musicians and they assume that they're singers. And they just make that assumption.

“The life of any musician really doesn't fall into a normal schedule at all. Every week there are different rehearsals, different days and nights of performances, so we don't have a particular pattern that we can follow. For a conductor, it is a little bit worse because we have to allow for traveling.” LittlesDifferentNightFallBitsWeekParticularNormalLittle BitMusicianPerformancesPatternsSchedulesRehearsalDay And NightConductorDifferent Day Author:Leonard Slatkin

“I get the most starstruck around musicians. I get tongue-tied and don't know what to say. I'm so jealous of them. When you make a movie, you're constructing something - it's a little bit like making an album. But after musicians make an album, they get to perform it live and experience it in front of a crowd.” KnowsLittlesBitsFrontsLittle BitMusicianAlbumsCrowdsTongueJealousTiedTongue Tied Author:Judd Apatow
“My father's a musician and my mother's a singer. My dad's originally from Brooklyn and he was a Latin percussionist so I've always had instruments around the house. He used to have a show like a 1950s rock and roll show with Little Richard music. They would do doo-wop songs and stuff like that.” LittlesShowsUsedMotherSongFatherHouseStuffRocksDadMusicianInstrumentsMy DadSingersLatinRock And RollBrooklyn Author:Bruno Mars
