Actually I have been singing since I was a kid.

But we were doing plays and movies which I had nothing to do with other than being a producer, and I don't have that kind of interest or time any more.

Suddenly Star Wars came out while we were on hiatus, and we looked like the old Buck Rogers series, where they had cigarette smoke blowing out the back of the rocket ship.

Then when I got to Hollywood, the first musical I did was Festival in 1977.

So I got interested in singing and I have always used my voice. Not professionally as much, but around the living room, the campfire, that kind of thing.

I have to be very careful about how often I drag my family to places. They need some stability in their lives.

Honestly, when I got to Hollywood I was trying to sell my songs.
