Band Quote by Mitch Albom
““He found himself thinking about his childhood. "Why do you drink so much, Maestro?" "This is not a music question." "Are you sad, Maestro?" "Again, not a music question." "I am sad sometimes, Maestro." "Practice more. Speak less. You'll be happier." "Yes, Maestro." Everyone joins a band in this life. Sometimes, they are the wrong ones.””

I've worked with people who were empty and lost, who had no clue what they were doing. You wouldn't hire them to paint your apartment. And then there's everything…” quote by Tony Gilroy](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/207/tony-gilroy-16296_apartment_what-you-need-to-know-to-direct-a-movie_353572.jpg)
