It's just different today. Nobody seems to last too long these days. I wouldn't know how to get started today.

The whole format of entertainment that I did seems to be fading away. The music business of today is completely different when you see the videos and the music.

I saw an Elvis Presley movie Jailhouse Rock, where he gets out of jail and makes his own records and takes them to the radio stations himself. And then, he puts records in the store. After seeing that, I made records an put them in stores.

To me, there was nothing greater than to play for an audience and to entertain people and that has stayed with me all these years.

When I owned the theater, I had the Glen Miller Orchestra. I had 20 girls singing and dancing. I had a cast of characters. It was a big group production, as well as ushers, ticket takers.

I had been on tour with people like Roy Orbison. I knew Bobby Darin, Sam Cooke. So many great performers.

Sammy Davis, I backed him up. I used to study him every night. I saw how great performers worked and was able to incorporate a little bit from the best.
