Text Quotes
I’d love to change the world, but I don’t know what to do  (Alvin Lee Quotes) So if you see Ten Years After, it’s not me anymore. I’m very happy with what I am doing now  (Alvin Lee Quotes) I strongly encourage listening to the radio to hear something you haven’t heard before. It’s a very healthy thing to do. It’s strange: unless you reload your iPods every couple of weeks, you’re listening to and recycling the same music all of the time. I’m serious. Listen to your radio station.  (Alvin Lee Quotes) The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it’s all a bit weird.  (Alvin Lee Quotes) I just couldn’t take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that’s about all I did at school.  (Alvin Lee Quotes) George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I’ve ever known, but in spite of that fame, he was such a nice and friendly guy.  (Alvin Lee Quotes) It’s always been something I’ve been searching for - freedom. It’s a very relative thing. It means different things to different people.  (Alvin Lee Quotes) I began to learn a lot of chords and rhythms. It was a bit boring at the time but came in very handy later on.  (Alvin Lee Quotes) That’s the kind of musical freedom I like: jazz, rock, blues, anything. You adopt different attitudes when you play different music.  (Alvin Lee Quotes) It was by listening to Goodman’s band, that I began to notice the guitarist Charlie Christian, who was one of the first musicians to play solos in a big band set-up.  (Alvin Lee Quotes) My all-time favorite rock and roll players were Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry and Franny Beecher, and I listened to the country playing of Merle Travis.  (Alvin Lee Quotes) I just play to the people I can see. So it’s almost like you are playing to the first few rows of the crowd. You can see the faces of the first hundred people, but then it becomes a blur as the crowds disappear over the hill  (Alvin Lee Quotes) We used to play the underground clubs like the UFO, and Middle Earth, and they were great because they would have on things like a poet, string quartets, and then a rock band! It was kinda cool!  (Alvin Lee Quotes) They have decided to tour under the name of Ten Years After which I don’t think is very cool. To be honest, they have had to do that as it’s the only way they can get any work  (Alvin Lee Quotes) I started off playing the clarinet, after I was inspired by listening to my dad’s Benny Goodman records  (Alvin Lee Quotes) George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I’ve ever known, but in spite of that fame, he was such a nice and friendly guy  (Alvin Lee Quotes) It will be the first time I’ve played live with a double bass  (Alvin Lee Quotes) Back in those days we thought we could change the world  (Alvin Lee Quotes) I just couldn’t take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that’s about all I did at school  (Alvin Lee Quotes) The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it’s all a bit weird  (Alvin Lee Quotes) Strangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it  (Alvin Lee Quotes) Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books  (Alvin Lee Quotes)
