I need to get up and walk around and keep my knees from getting bad, which is what's happening.

There are a million good tunes.

As long as I can still be on my own and do my own thing and be working full time, it's great.

The house is in turmoil with records on every space. In the kitchen and in the dining room is covered with records. I don't have a big enough house to accommodate everything.

Duke Ellington is my choice for many reasons. Nobody has written so many great pieces of music, which are everlasting, and he has made them available to the world through his orchestrations of his work in a unique way. Lastly, he was himself a fine pianist. He covers the entire musical spectrum with his genius.

I'd just as soon be on a good Steinway or Yamaha just as well.

Well it's because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it's a shame.
