Quotes about moldy (8 Quotes)




    There's a watch change at two in the morning, ... So seven people who have been on deck for four hours in immense waves and windchill get to go down below. They're covered in sleet. They're bruised. They're exhausted. And they've got four hours before they're due back on deck. They clamber out of their dry suits. They lay out their moldy sleeping bags on the bunks on the high side of the boat, and they get in. They've already used up 30 minutes. After another half hour, the wind shifts, and the guys on deck need to tack the boat. That means the guys down below have to wake up, grab their sleeping bags, walk across the boat, and lay out on the other side. Now they've lost even more sleep.

    That's a pretty tall order, ... I don't want to sound too grandiose or that I can represent jazz in its entirety. But as one of few remaining people from that period the heyday of bebop during the '40s and '50s, I want to represent myself and the kind of musicians from that period, so that people who are new to the music can say, 'These people were good they aren't just a bunch of old moldy figs.'
