"We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it's timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there's going to be a real appreciation."

Art Garfunkel (November 5, 1941)

I do not strum with my hand; he who strums with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I strum with my ear.
I do not pick with my hand; he who picks with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I pick with my mind.
I do not shred with my hand; he who shreds with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shred with my heart.
