When I was a kid, I USED to listen to my Emerson RADIO late at night under the COVERS. I started by listening to JAZZ in the late 1940s and then vocal harmony groups like the Four Freshmen, the Modernaires and the Hi-Lo's. I loved Stan Kenton's BIG band - with those dark chords and musicians who could swing cool with individual sounds.

I trust if your life is right, the right things will happen at the right TIME. If the CHORDS are in harmony inside, I THINK other things will happen in the same WAY. That sounded highfalutin' to me once, but I believe it now.

A pianist practices for up to 10 HOURS a day. Then, when he takes to the stage, you see the harmony. Having such an elegant touch is a natural gift, but it's the daily training which allows you to perform that MIRACLE and CREATE FEELING, even if you were BORN tone-deaf.

In any relationship, only if both partners BRING in emotional, FINANCIAL commitment and honesty in EQUAL measure, can there be HARMONY.

This happiness consisted of nothing ELSE but the harmony of the few things around me with my own existence, a FEELING of CONTENTMENT and WELL-BEING that needed no changes and no intensification.

When you SEE the BEST of the best - when you see a Matisse or a PICASSO - what INTERESTS you is the creativity and harmony.

I was in a band called Episode SIX with Roger Glover, which was more of a HARMONY band, REALLY. At one gig, there were a few dodgy characters leaning up against the wall of the VENUE - and we ended up joining their band. Purple was the talk of every musician in the country - they had something new and very EXCITING.

Dixie CHICKS SURPRISED me with a beautiful three-part harmony version of 'I'll TAKE CARE of You.' And Don Henley's performance of 'The Heart of the Matter' still just slays me every time I HEAR it.

So the language of musical harmony is an ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY one. It's a way of navigating one's EMOTIONAL frameworks, but without the need to PUT things into words, and I think that, as with MANY other languages, it doesn't matter how much you know about a language.

The Senate are a branch of the treaty-making power, and by consulting them in advance of his own action upon important measures of FOREIGN policy which MAY ULTIMATELY come before them for their consideration, the President secures harmony of action between that BODY and himself.

I LOVE James Taylor and Carole King, Joni Mitchell - this is, like, EARLY '70s stuff. I love the stuff from the '40s. I love that tight harmony that the STUDIO singers in the '50s would sing. I love Patsy Cline. Yeah, I'm all over the PLACE.

I believe if religion brings you to a sense of peace, that's BEAUTIFUL. But I also believe if religion's not your thing, that's FINE, too, just so LONG as you're a good person and you find that one thing that leads you to peace and teaches you to have harmony with yourself and other PEOPLE around you.

I listen to a lot of Chicago blues, I suppose. It reminds me of growing up, I guess. But I'm ALSO obsessed by close-harmony GROUPS. Actually, I'm fascinated PARTICULARLY by brother duos, how they blend together. The Everly BROTHERS, the Stanley Brothers, The McQuarrys. There's something INHERENTLY magical about harmony.
