Without music, life would be a mistake.
Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.
Christmas in the Ramsay house is always a noisy chaotic time, but I love it!
I grew up singing in church. I've been doing that since I was 3 years old. Singing was a blessing for me to do.
The spring came suddenly, bursting upon the world as a child bursts into a room, with a laugh and a shout and hands full of flowers.
My mother was the first singer I had contact with. She sang constantly to us around the house, in church.
Unextinguished laughter shakes the skies.
I'm grateful to God that I'm able to praise his glory through my music.
Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.
The dogs did bark, the children screamed, Up flew the windows all; And every soul bawled out, Well done! As loud as he could bawl.
I'll be one of the Who's of Whoville.
Midnight shout and revelry, Tipsy dance and jollity.
I used to stick my head out the window when I was a kid and sing at the top of my lungs and think no one could hear me.
Even if I make a gospel album, my gospel songs are going to get you dancing and crunk.
At Christmas, it's my siblings running around the house, we're cooking, talking, laughing, loud and just crazy. It's beautiful chaos.
Any musical person who has never heard a Negro congregation under the spell of religious fervor sing these old songs has missed one of the most thrilling emotions which the human heart may experience.
When I was very young, I just loved the idea of tapping on stuff, so I was always making a lot of noise.
The sound of laughter is like the vaulted dome of a temple of happiness.
The only thing better than singing is more singing.
Personally, I think four is the perfect number of children for our particular family. Four is enough to create the frenzied cacophony that my husband and I find so joyful.
We were a great family for singing. There were good voices on both sides and no reluctance to use them.
I sing in full voice in the car and have a tendency to harmonize badly.
I want to sit with my legs wide open and laugh so loud that the whole damn restaurant turns and looks at me.
The most fun I ever had in my life was hittin' a baseball. And the best sound I ever heard in my life was a ball hit with a bat. Powww!
Ever since I was really really little, I was just singing all the time. Like one of my favorite games when I was little would be to just have one of my sisters pick a title, and I would impromptu create that song.
