[Dixielandjazz] Looking for a Quote

[David M Richoux]

Franklin did score a direct hit with "Guests, like fish, begin to  
smell after three days. "  but that would not make a great sig!

looks like he borrowed that line from John Lyly (1554-1606) according to
http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/quote.htm  for some interesting  
quotes, including some musical:

If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even  
as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare  
wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of  
heaven and earth will pause and say, "Here lived a great streetsweeper  
who did his job well." Martin Luther King, Jr.
