You've got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.
The best practice you can get is on the bandstand, but in between gigs I feel I have to stay in shape.
God forbid that any book should be banned. The practice is as indefensible as infanticide.
If you eat foie gras, I would really urge you to look at the practice that goes in to producing it. It is totally barbaric and involves force-feeding on the most horrific scale imaginable.
I've been taking batting practice in my barn where nobody can see me, so I may be better than anyone thinks.
Baseball players are not specialists; they all have to do it all. That is why I, and many aficionados, dislike the American League's practice of replacing the pitcher with a designated hitter. This creates two players who do not have to do it all.
I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice.
I don't see pitches down the middle anymore - not even in batting practice.

I'm always trying to find a better way to do things.
Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice.
The Christian's Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.
If you seriously aspire to be a manager in the big leagues, there is a baseball 'book' that one must learn. Alongside that book, you must practice Spanish. Of 25 players on each roster, sometimes there are between eight and 15 players who speak Spanish.
I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!
That was the biggest thrill, going over to these guy's houses and having them want me to practice with them and they would show me a lot of stuff, which was really advanced stuff to me at my age.
I was a bio major, and I was going to take over my aunt's dental practice and be a dentist.
