  • THOUGHTS & QUOTES

    "It's never too late...or too soon!" - P. Tambroni

    My first bass teacher said this to me about learning to improvise -"Play everything! If it sounds bad, don't do it again."

    "Amateurs practice until they get it right. Professionals practice until they can't get it wrong." -unknown

    "Talk does not cook rice." - Chinese Proverb

    "Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad." - from Mental Toughness

    Everyone has vision. Few have venture. - P. Tambroni

    Do less, master more.

    "There is no easy or difficult; only familiar and unfamiliar." - Kenny Werner
