I started to play Jazz music in my early teens. A boyfriend brought records over, so I listened to everything

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.

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

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

I'm not too fond of changing things into waltzes, but sometimes that works.

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

Nowadays it seems to me nobody takes trouble about anything, especially writing songs.
