"Can you speak up: there's a bloody racket going on in the background."

"Tong!"

"Free Bird!"

"I've got those 'Don't worry about me, I'll just be here, all alone' blues."

'Theaters from Hell' 'We have no sound engineers, so no there's not a good seat in the house.'

"Here's a request from someone who'd like to hear something in tune for a change. Oh, we have a comedian out there, I see."

'That was Charlie Parker's 'Ornithology.' I threw in a flat nine in bar 16 and a tritone substitution in bar 22. Who noticed that? Hands up if you noticed!'
