Bass Outlaw

Famous quotes containing the words bass and/or outlaw:

    How are we to know that a Dracula is a key-pounding pianist who lifts his hands up to his face, or that a bass fiddle is the doghouse, or that shmaltz musicians are four-button suit guys and long underwear boys?
    In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    The price on the wanted
    poster was a-going down, outlaw alias copped my stance
    and moody greenhorns were making me dance; while my mouth’s
    shooting iron got its chambers jammed.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
