I started taking piano lessons when I was about four years old. My parents were both musicians. So I took piano lessons. I didn't like the lessons very much, but I was enchanted by music. Music always transported me somewhere. Singing made feel good and being able to play the piano made me feel good.

I can't remember faces, don't remember names, but after awhile and a thousand miles it all becomes the same.

Some people stay far away from the door if there's a chance of it opening up. They hear a voice in the hall outside and hope that it just passes by.

every time I've held a rose, It seems I only felt the thorns

Davey Crocket, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland.

I look at some of the songs I wrote years ago and I can't believe I wrote such crap.

Musicians now find themselves in the unlikely position of being legitimate. At least the IRS thinks so.
