Professional Rosewood Marimba

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or marimba:

The professional writer discovers some aspect of the world and invents out of the speech of his time some particularly apt and original way of putting it down on paper.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

“One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire
one could probably hear it turning to marimba music.”
