4 QUOTES WITH «TUNE UP»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word tune up.
1
Jackson Browne
I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning, I get up, and if I'm not in a hurry, I will lie on the floor on a rug, look through some books and magazines, and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up.
2
Bikram Choudhury
I fix the human chassis, I tune up human engines, I recharge human batteries, and I adjust human transmissions.
3
Billy Gibbons
Turn on, tune up, rock out.
4
Quincy Jones
To me it's no accident that all the symphony orchestras around the world tune up to the note A. And A is 440 cycles, except in Germany where it's 444. But the universe is 450 cycles. So what I'm trying to say is, I think it's God's voice, melody especially. Counterpoint, retrograde inversion, harmony... that's the science and the craft.
