I felt that, in retrospect, there was a time in the late Seventies, after I had a string of hits and successes, as a performer and a recording artist, that I wasn't saying anything.

I'm not a jazz singer.

I really just followed my musical instincts every step of my life.

My parents were music lovers and collectors. It was around.

I listened to classical guitar and Spanish guitar, as well as jazz guitar players, rock and roll and blues. All of it. I did the same thing with my voice.

I'm easily distracted by other things in the world around me.

I would say that I'm finding my voice in more ways than one.
