Quote by Billie Holiday
I cant stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succ

I cant stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it aint music, its close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music. – Billie Holiday
