That's what so sad about a lot of modern music, in my opinion, so many young bands never stay around long enough to fulfill their ultimate promise. They only get halfway there or a quarter of the way there. ↗

I was ever of the opinion, that the honest man who married and brought up a large family, did more service than he who continued single, and only talked of population. ↗
