I'm not really a bird person or an Audubon guy who studies them, but as I was around them, they interested me.

Give me a wave I can ride upon, come and show your strength to me.

I'm a little nuts. I'm a lot nuts. All I know is that in the midst of the madness of this world it's my therapy. The music touches my heartstrings.

I love jazz. I still do. Dave Brubeck and Stan Getz are so good. I took a notification course in Jazz Orchestration. It wasn't a grandiose as you'd think but I did have to to go to Los Angeles to do it and get an understanding of the keyboard because the keyboard became my tool and I used it a lot in transposing and composing. All the flats and time values. I spent a year doing that because in those days you had to be able to write your own music and read sheets.

I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back.

Whitecaps in profusion all around me, but somehow in your eyes I found the strength to sail upon that raging sea.
