Some years later I met Queen Elizabeth II, in our capital Ottawa at a Canada Day celebration. David Foster and I were doing the show and we both met her afterwards. She told me how much she loved the Canadian Railroad Trilogy. She looked at me and said, "oh, that song", and then said again, "that song", and that was all she said.

My parents got my sister and I to go to church and have piano lessons. We were keen and they could see that.

Everything is trust, all the rest is dust.

I play piano, but not well enough to play professionally.

You just get the vibes of your surroundings and it rubs off on you.

I was a drummer in the bugle band in cadets. I marched. It's probably quite funny to look back on it.

It seems so lucky to just to have the right of telling you with all my might, you're beautiful tonight.
