Quotations:

"You know what dad told me one time. Dad told me this way back years ago, when I was just a boy. An he raised alot of corn, every year he raised a thousand bushel, and he worked us to death nearly. An he worked us awful hard. And uh, it'd tickle us when it would rain a day an we got to stay in...An one, one day we had an old banjo and pound aroun' on it ya know. An one day he told me, he said, You know rats wont stay where there's music? And I said, No, I didn't know. I said, Why wont they stay? Well he said, Well there's never nothin' raised for em to eat and they'll starve out an leave. Its the devils (music) ya know."

 Ward Jarvis ~  Quoted by David A. Brose - Rats Wont Stay Where Theres Music
