I got more used to my own voice, but still it's hard for me to listen to my own voice, or hear the recordings. ↗

Orphans, dead parents, lonely children at Christmas, morose spoken word recordings, everything you love about the holidays. Move the turkey over so you can fit your head in the oven. ↗

When recordings replaced concerts as the dominant mode of hearing music, our conception of the nature of performance and of music itself was altered. ↗

When I look back at those pictures of my mother performing - and listen to her recordings - it makes me sad to think that all of that joy she found in her work came to an end. I wish she hadn't had to make that sacrifice, even if it was for the benefit of my father and siblings and me. ↗

Never have so many recordings of the great Masses and motets been in wider circulation. ↗

I think recordings have been a terrific advance because now, when you have a piece of music, particularly something that appears to the listener very complicated, there's really a push to the world to try to figure out what it was that he was hearing. ↗

In the end, the record companies have the power to control the quality that is served online. Online service has been problematic in that it actively or discreetly promotes trading and duplication of music. It is not offensive to me that the MP3-quaility sound is traded around. It is, in my opinion, the new radio and serves a great purpose: making music lovers away of the content tat is out there to buy. If the consumers want it, let tham take it, whatever quality they prefer. Ultimately, nothing can stop absolute quality from making a big comeback. The stage is well set. I believe in what I am trying to do and that good Karma will come from it. It is just a matter of time. ↗

We never got anything out of the recordings. I'm still as broke as I was when I was with the Mothers. ↗

Most of my recorded material has been in small group configurations. I have not released large orchestral works as recordings because it hasn't been within the realm of possibility. ↗

I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label. ↗
