About this Quote

This quote by Jimmy Rushing talks to the concept that it is difficult for a single person to be able to master all designs of music. He suggests that it takes a lifetime of dedication and practice to be able to express oneself through music. He suggests that when a musician has actually mastered their instrument, they can then start to express their own distinct style and sound. This quote also talks to the concept that each musician has their own distinct design and noise that is formed by their life experiences. It is impossible to replicate another person's style, as each artist has their own distinct voice. This quote motivates musicians to explore their own design and sound, and to not be afraid to reveal themselves through their music.
