Every day is Thanksgiving for me, man. Yeah, I still have an audience, and they ask the local promoter, "When is Al coming back?"

Once you discover that you can, then you must.

I did a concert at five years old in the garden of one of the church members, and we raised some money to buy a new piano in our little church.

I sang do-wop on the street corner before it was called do-wop.

I came here with something in me that I inherited from my folks. So I'm going to do something called life and times.

I know more polkas than Frankie Yankovic. I grew up next door to the Polka Tavern in Milwaukee. I can sing some polkas. And proud of that.

I would still be singing, because it's part of my heart and my soul, and it lifts me up. Find something you would do for free.
