I was happy to be in England, because my mother had always loved the royals, and so do I.

I can see her lying back in her faded dress in a room where do what you don't confess.

Both the Beatles and The Rolling Stones broke on the music scene the summer I was in England. I can vividly remember hearing She Loves You in August 1963.

I once performed The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald to about 15 sea captains. The song was about a ship that broke in half and sank.
