Quote by Gordon Getty

I was in Paris at an English-language bookstore. I picked up a vol

I was in Paris at an English-language bookstore. I picked up a volume of Dickinsons poetry. I came back to my hotel, read 2,000 of her poems and immediately began composing in my head. I wrote down the melodies even before I got to a piano. – Gordon Getty
