If you plan to face tomorrow, do it soon.

I can remember sitting in a cabin outside of Denver writing that with a can of soup on the stove.

A lot of people influenced me as I was learning but probably Bing Crosby was the most influential, because I would hear his Christmas albums, which my parents played a lot.

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

SPEAK OF TROUBLE highlights the abilities of Lowell Sostomi as singer/songwriter and brings together a talented band of musicians with amazing dexterity, loads of energy, and very original arrangements. Im impressed.

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

My first song was Hula Hoop Song, in 1955. It was a novelty song. I had to find someway to reach out and it was with a novelty song. Now, all of my recording obligations have been taken care of. I made 14 albums for Warner Brothers. Five for United Artist before that.
