But those musics do not address the larger kind of architecture in time that classical music does, whatever each one of us knows that classical music must mean.
The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues.
There's always something in most world folk musics that always seems connected; whether it's a bagpipe or a tambura, there's always some sort of drone instrument, and there's always percussion.
There's a similarity between European and North African folk musics.
If we could ever find that moment, maybe thousands of years from now, where all the musics of the worlds would be communicating with each other, there would be no more wars, there would be peace.
The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits
Generally, I've got to say that all sounds, musics, noises since conception are bound to have influenced me.
Music’s the soundtrack of my life and has been since I was a teenager. There’s always music. If I’m not playing it, I’m listening to it. With my writing…sometimes it inspires a story, sometimes it highlights something I’m working on, sometimes it simply helps me stay in the narrative mood.
Bells are musics laughter.
Music’s a wood you walk through.
