The Art of Listening

Music 15, the Art of Listening, is coming to an end. However, it was quite the quarter with a very eccentric professor. These are just a few of the memorable things he said while (supposedly) talking about music. 

"What was he smoking?" (Said on multiple occasions)

"It makes you buy war bonds." (Speaking about a patriotic piece)

"I hope you all did well on the quiz..." -Prof. Hall (Directed at the athletes) 

"I got a 100%!" -Football player 

"Well, that's better than your record on the field." -Prof. Hall

"I like this...I listen to it when I'm cleaning my toilet." 

"Americans do it best!"

"My teacher once told me it was like the skin on your balls. You can stretch it a little but if you do it too much it's painful." (Talking about the singing technique of rubato)" 

"Lots of mostly naked Russians running around..." 

"What about your guilty pleasures? Do you any of think listen to Katy Perry and think 'Teenage Dream' is fabulous?"

I'm realizing I can't even remember most of the hilarious things he said. Oh well. They were amusing lectures.
