Quotes of the Day for 5 November 2003 - Singers

I've always loved to sing, although my singing has not always brought delight to those in my vicinity. There are folks at church who love it when I sing, but I think it's because I'm so loud that they can sing without fear that their errors will be heard. But Singers became today's theme because of the birthday list which includes Franz Xavier Grüber (composer of Silent Night, 1787), Leonard Slye (performed as Roy Rogers, 1912), Ike Turner (1931), Art Garfunkel (1941), Gram Parsons (1946), Peter Noone (Herman of Herman and the Hermits, 1947), and Bryan Adams (1959).

     - Caroline Yawn

You can cage the singer but not the song.
     - Harry Belafonte

     - Henrik Ibsen, 1828 - 1906
